How do I use a 3” disc? All I have are 4.5” angle grinders.
What thickness of cutting disc should I use to cut metal with angle grinder?
Best 3in metal cut off disks for cut off tool
3in sanding disk
Ya. Flap disk.
More on reddit.comWill the HDII fit my grinder?
Absolutely. The industry standard for grinders is as follows: Rotary Tools (i.e. Dremel TM) - 1/8" 3" Cut off tools and Die Grinder - 1/4" & 3/8” 4" Angle Grinder - 5/8" 4-1/2", 5”, 6", 7" Angle Grinder - 7/8" arbor flange for a 5/8\" coarse arbor shaft. At Bad Dog, we find that an HDII with a 7/8\" arbor flange runs truest because it is a more precise fit. The 4-1/2" and 6" Flange wheel use the 5/8\" coarse thread which is standard on ALL grinders. Call us at 800.252.1330 if you have any questions.
How safe is HDII compare to other wheels?
As safe as they get! Cut-off wheels can be some of the most dangerous tools in a shop. We are not telling you that you don’t need to be wearing safety when using our wheel, however, the 46 diamond grit is embedded on a hard steel plate to ensure that the wheel will not fly apart on you.
What won't the HDII cut?
Wood: It will shape wood well but burns when cutting. Glass: The HDII is too aggressive and leaves a jagged edge.

I am getting conflicting info through google and online shops, hence asking here.
My question is about the disc thickness. Google leads me to think I should use 1mm - 1.6mm. But the shop I am buying all the kit from only sell 3mm metal cutting discs.
They sell 1mm and 1.6mm discs but their purpose is not mentioned so I assume they are more for "grinding" and not cutting?
I will be using an angle grinder to cut off the ends of an old Ikea Gallant desk frame, I want a clean-ish finish but will happily sand the edges down if its rough.
