i bought one of these...http://www.machinema...le-grinder-230v a few years ago and it's been fantastic.
have used it a few times for pretty much a full day and it's been fine.

personally i wouldn't bother with cheapy ones, draper, silverline, lidl etc, they are made of chocolate inside.

I use a wire knot brush for taking down paint on panels. However keep away from edges. Otherwise they no longer are edges.

Linishing welds. grinding disk. 40 grit flap disk then the final polish with a 120 or so grit disk.

I've bought b&qs own brand one 650watt, 2 year guarantee , it's been brilliant . I'd recommend the polycarbide discs for removing paint/rust etc. For cutting go for the slitting discs rather than the cutting discs for a neater but controllable cut( but they do wear down more than the standard cutting discs). The flap grinding wheels are excellent for handling welds and getting them neat. Well that's my opinion lol
