    It has guides on both sides, that makes it more accurate on that task. But then it blocks other uses of the grinder.

    With this kind of guide, and when cutting mostly rebars or welded mesh, using diamond cut off wheel could be good option.
    re the diamond wheel; not long ago I was supplied with an ordinary DeWalt 4-1/2" angle grinder for a field job. Not a grinding wheel, nor cut-off wheel, flap or flat sanding disc....used a carbide tipped circular saw, about 20-24 teeth, barely negative rake. I notched reliefs in formed C1018 plate a full 1/2" thick, heavier of course in the corners. It cut beyond my ability to describe, in both feed rate, finish, and burr free. Haven't searched out a supply yet, but they were DeWalt also.
    I mean, 1/2" plate, guided by hand to felt tip marks! Even a Port-A-Band could not have done it.
    PS. Be certain guards installed, and path for chips clear. DAMHIKT
