Scrap grinder wheels

Been doing a ton of cutting with the chop saw and was wondering if anyone had found a use for the scrap wheels instead of throwing them out. In a single day I’ll have 9 or 10 scrap wheels that get tossed but there is still a good amount of meat on them (10”). Has anyone found a use for them on smaller grinders?

Depending on their rated speed you could use them on a smaller hand held saw. You should look at a tungsten cold saw if you go through that many wheels, it would pay for itself in a few days.

Be very careful about wearing down. Cutoff wheels won’t survive this and fly apart eventually if you get small enough. That’s ok until a piece wedges itself an inch into your thigh.
