Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJRSkBSb5S8&ab_channel=Weld.com Angle grinders are common equipment but if any doubts at all then induction is required.

Disc's can shatter especially if they are twisted in the slot being cut
Know where your fingers/knuckles are in relation to the disc at all times
Pay attention to where the sparks are going, they will set fires and ruin equipment with dust.

There are several main types of disc

1 mm cutting - great for slicing up metal as you would with a hacksaw but much faster
Grinding disc - used for dressing welds and smoothing corners etc
Flap disc - similar uses as grinding disc but especially good for flattening out welds
Paint removal disc - err for removing paint
