Hum while I don't condone the use of a wood blade in an angle grinder the article said the angle grinder was only for use in grinding and not cutting. Why then have every angle grinder I have purchased come with at least one cutting disc for either metal or stone and sometimes both?

quite different animals
stone and metal are removed and dont close in where as wood will expand and grip causing the blade to be propelled away if not held very firmly
in general i a tool is designed for a use it will work
a wood blade rotates far slower than a angle grinder so not a great choice in the wrong tool

You do not cut with friction. You grind. That's why it's called a grinder, not a saw.

It was Notb665. Whilst Ninebob hasn't been around for a while, I sincerely hope that reports of his death are greatly exaggerated!
Thanks for pointing that one out, used an angle grinder to finish off a few cuts into flooring that the Circular Saw couldn't quite get to not long ago (a "general purpose" blade designed for the grinder), it did feel slightly dangerous at the time (no cutoff trigger, no guard, high speed etc) not to mention the large amount of smoke generated and probably fire risk! Doubt I'll use that again, especially after seeing your post.Notb665. a member on here had a fatal accident with a wood blade in an angle grinder about 2 years ago

OP, how is the decking mounted to the ground? Just wondering if it's possible to drag it away from the wall rather than cut it. that way you wouldn't have to replace the joist that the ends will be resting on.
That is simple rubbish and bares no relationship with the definition of cut. For example scissors cut using a shear force and not friction, are you going to claim that is not cutting?. Anything that separates an object into two cuts, it is the very definition of the word, specifically from the OED
[code:1] separate (something) into two; sever[/code:1]
Which is why there are separate cutting and grinding discs for angle grinders.
Scissors cut with a sharp edge, yes, not friction. A 'cutting' disc on a grinder removes material via abrasion.
The definition you have just quoted does not appear in the current OED.

I agree. Grinder cutting discs DON'T cut, at least not in the scissor sense. In fact they abrade (grind) the material you are working. They are deliberately strengthened to be used on edge and produce a thin kerf and because of this this they are too brittle and contain insufficient abrasive materials for surface grinding
Grinding discs are considerably thicker. They extra volume of abrasive material and extra fabric bonding makes them more suitable for abrading surfaces wher downwards pressure on the side of the disc is normal
To anyone who uses grinders for any length of time this is fairly obvious
This is a 9" angle grinder wood saw blade.
Used one a while back. Forget the maker. Local hardware stockist supplies them. Handy for demolition work.
Not something you would use to cut dovetails.
Might cut the bottom off a door though.
Carbide teeth silver soldered in would be a nice addition.
Don't see it being a lot less dangerous than a bona fide wood saw blade tbh.

It looks a bit scary but then an arbor tec did at first
it has to be far more dangerous and suspect against health and safety as you dont have full blade coverage with a guard like any saw blade
6mm is the maximum gap allowed on a saw
drop a circular saw the guard closes
