Unpopular opinion: I used to think a 4-inch grinder was fine for everything, but a 7-inch changed my whole game on a big job.
We were cutting out a 2-inch thick patch on a boiler in a Philly plant last month. The 4-inch was taking forever, maybe 15 minutes per cut. Switched to a buddy's 7-inch with a good wheel and it went through in under 5. The extra weight and power made a huge difference on that thick steel. Anyone else find a specific tool that just works better on heavy plate?

Gotta disagree on the 4-inch being fine for everything, that's a one-way ticket to burning out small motors. The right tool for the job is a real thing.

Yeah but sometimes you just need to get it done.

Honestly, the noise from pushing a small tool too hard is awful too (and bad for your ears long term). It's not just about the motor burning out.
