can anyone in the know recommend grinding wheels for my 4 inch hand held grinder that
are especially good at cutting metal up to 1/8 inch. I have been using cheap ones from HF
and using an old one for backing. I would like to get a better set up. I also would like to know
what you think is the best handheld grinder for metal cutting...I might buy a new one if it would be really good.

There are a lot of good handheld grinders. I have an older Makita that is a workhorse.
I see guys with Milwaukees, Bosch and Skil grinders.
I use Sait/United Abrasive discs with good luck. I get them from a hardware supply company.

What exactly is it your trying to use this for?
There's a lot faster and better tools for cutting metal.

I have two 4" grinders, a B&D that I bought 25-30 yrs ago and a HF that is 2-3 yrs old. The only reason I bought the HF is so I don't have to change from grinding disk to wire cup 
Both work equally well.
Like Joe said, what are you using the grinder for? there are better tools for cutting!

I've installed a fiber metal cutting blade in my skil saw to cut steel but they also sell a similar saw just for cutting steel - it doesn't have any of the plastic parts that the sparks might melt. How big and/or what type of cuts do you need to make?
