Saw the Video of using the grinder to cut big steel beams.
Was wondering what model they were using? Looks like they have several 6" models

@ Jetman - 90% of our grinders are corded Metabos in 4-1/2" and 6". Strong as steel and smooth as ice.
Recommend the 13.5A, paddle switched, quick-change WEP 15-150. The paddled operation is ideal for safe, shorter duration work, a la with .045" Slicer wheels.
If you are planning to "grind" (hard bonded abrasives, flapper) for surface preparation/finish work, Then you should consider the model with the Slider switch. Running a Paddle switched grinder for extended durations will definitely increase your finger/foreman strength, but is less than ideal for extended durations IMPO.
Look online for pre-owned and refurbished models.

Everything arclight said is true, but you could also try to search a WEP-14-150, it’s the older model. Again arclight is right the metabo super slicer the one the best cut off wheels but try out a CGW quickie, best cut and durability for the money.
