I just bought a 4.5" grinder with cutting in mind … the Dremel cutting wheels just go too quick.

So I get an AG452 (the display says 451), it comes with grinding wheel, wire wheel, and abrasive mop so I bought two metal cutters. I get home and start putting this together and it’s nowhere near tightening on the disc

I noticed it’s a Norton wheel, is there a Ryobi metal cutting wheel, that I’m not seeing, that will fit the way it’s supposed to?
on my grinder when i want to se a cutoff disk i have to flip the nut over and put on backwards for it to tighten.

may be a washer in there somewhere….

I use a $10 cheapo angle grinder from harbor freight. No problem with cheap tools if they don’t need any degree of precision (like an angle grinder)

It does mention flipping the nut for the ‘mop’ but the cutter is just too thin

I will be doing the washer thing in the future … I used my Dremel for the cuts and returned the cutting wheels. Considering returning the grinder as well, no idea what I’ll ever use it for.

And what would you suggest he buy?

anything BUT ryobi

so how about a cummins or hoimer grinder? their not ryobi so they must be better. for his needs a ryobi would work just fine.
My angle grinder is a Craftsman, and I saved a really worn grinding disc to use as a backup for cutoff wheels.
