Smith and Arrow all the way. They're the hardest wearing discs I've ever used and cut like a hot knife through butter.

Smith & Arrow 1.1MM Cutting discs for the 4.5" angle grinder. Clicky

Smith & Arrow 1.1MM cutting discs for the 3" die grinder. Clicky

There is also Silverline on Ebay, i have been and still using their 1mm Stainless Steel cutting disc's and grinding disc's for the 4 1/2" grinders. (buy the pack of 20 for the cutting disc's)

Remember though with the 1mm cutting discs not to press to hard as they will wear very quickly plus if they do catch they break as well so be careful. Decent goggle's are a must along with ear protection.

i use silverline too and they have a great cut, i've used the aldi thin disc's too and they also cut very well but as sonikk4 said be very carefull with them because if you twist the grinder and the disc breaks it goes everywhere, if you lean to hard the disc can wear uneven too and makes starting a new cut a pain...
