Most 115mm corded angle grinders use the same nut and blade fitting ID so pretty interchangeable.
Have two, a cheapo £30 cable job that I've had 10 years, changed the joke 2m cable for a 10m industrial quality cable and use high quality blades, only gets occasional use, but paid for itself on day 1.
Have a milwaukee brushless m18 battery job, more like £100-135 something like that? Sounds like a lot, but again paid for itself on day 1 doing a job for a customer removing a few dozen mangled bikes and abandoned locks at normal charge out rate. Been using it on all sort of masonry jobs, batteries last surprisingly long and its much easier to control without it stalling/running away like the mains powered job does (1600w, but shows the difference between high amp stall capacity of a quality battery tool vs cheap mains).Screwfix/b+Q own brand stuff is fine for most folks DIY needs in the world of angle grinders. Just buy good blades and buy some £££ goggles that properly fit, those £2 goggles... your eyesight is worth more than that.

I'm pondering getting a cheapo angle grinder. Got a few paving slabs that need cutting and I need to add some channels to some window sills and a few other minor things.
What's the advantage of a mains powered one over something like a Ryobi (I already have ryobi batteries)? I'm not going to be spending loads of time cutting in one go.
Are blades interchangeable between models/brands or do you need to get specific ones? Anything else to look out for or should I just get a Titan one or whatever?
