Yes - the cutoff wheel is faster and better at cutting than
the grinding wheel. The cutoff wheel is much slimmer. There
are four and a half inch cutting wheels that will fit your
grinder. No need to buy another tool.
You will probably need an adapter to fix the cutoff
wheel to the grinder - or you can make one with some big
washers. Basically you just need a method to sufficiently
clamp the cutoff wheel to the grinder since most cutoff
wheels don't have threads like the grinding wheels.
I don't know how I lived before my Sears grinder. The
rpm is up over 10 thousand and cuts through metal like
butter or grinds when needed. Much better than a
reciprocating saw for most things in my opinion.
