i understand about the diamond discs. the ones i use have a short mandrel. they were also not cheap. i broke some of the heavy duty cut off wheels and those pieces can fly off fast. i've only been using one wheel since i bought the pricey ones and i run it at a pretty low speed. it takes a little longer, but still cuts pretty good. always do it under running water and always wear eye protection with them. (i just bought a magnifying lamp with a 6" wide lens. with that in between me and the work i feel pretty safe.)

Thanks......
I will try the shorter mandrel. I also have a master cut flex shaft and have broken the cable twices when the cutting wheel has gotten stuck. I nned a saw, especially on the rock. I have started wearing eye protection too, and tape for my fingers. LOL

It's fun and it's a constant learning experience.
