Depends what type of work you do. Basic setup for me is grinding wheel, cutting disc, and wire wheel. If you had a few more add a sanding disc and a cupped wire wheel besides the straight.

 

Ummmm....They make more different wheels than I have grinders....But I have 10 covered so far.

Thick grinding, cutoffs, flaps of different grits, wire different shapes and stiffness, sanding...and so on.

To start, I'll suggest grinding, cutoff and flap

Man, looks like I have some catching up to do.

Mostly I'll just be doing hobby type stuff.

I'd like to weld up some expanded sheet metal screens for my shop doors to prevent someone from breaking the glass and reaching in to try to unlock the door.

 

I think you should just run the bare tool. No wheels of any sort.

 

a set of spreewell spinners would look sharp.:nono:

 

Just as wornoutwelder said, use one for a grinding wheel, one for a cutoff wheel, and then use the last for a flap wheel and wire wheel

 

Just as several have mentioned the grinder wheel, wire wheel, and cutoff wheel. The guard is on the grinder you don't want to find out the hard way why you should keep it on. I took a fellow employee to the ER several years ago that almost died when a disk came apart and gouged into his arm almost getting a vein. Also safety glasses or hood should also be a must when running a grinder!

 

Def need the guard on there. Even with the guard you will take on some metal when using a wirewheel, and them litter things can hurt. Plus if you went to work for someone else and you need your grinders, they probably won't let you use them without guards

 

Wire brush, cutoff, and flap wheel for my 3, my big grinder gets to do the heavy grinding.

 

There are tons of attachments, enough to replace almost every other grinder in the shop. I also have a simple bench attachment that grinds faster and is mor versatile than my actual bench grinders. I can put two of them back to back with flap wheelsand a rest to hollow grind knife blanks. A hobby I want to do, but haven't really got into yet.

 

What you do will tell you which wheels (attachments) you need the most.

 

I also would go with the grinding, flap disk, and cut off wheel suggestion.

 

I might add that we use the heck out of the cordless dewalts also. I have several 18V and just bought a couple 20V to try.

 

One thing I've been meaning to do with my out of warranty grinders is to shorten the cords, since I generally use extension cords anyway and it will be one less thing to do when putting them away. I would hate to add up all the time in my life spent wrapping up or untangling cords.
