Thought I had just found the best thing since sliced bread. A Ridgid 4.5" diamond abrasive metal cutoff blade for my angle grinder. Under $14 at HD. Supposed to last equivalent to 100 standard abrasive blades, bringing the cost down to the equivalent of 14 cents each. Put a 1/2" x 1/2" bar into my vise and gave it a test cut. Cut maybe a little slower with less sparks. So far, so good. Maybe it was the way I was holding the tool, but it caught on the bar, pulling it out of my hands, hitting the floor while still running. Bent my brand new blade. No dice on trying to straighten it. Took it back for a full refund, disappointed. Maybe if the blade was a spring type steel, but it seemed to bend way too easy when I tried to straighten it. Would have been nice not to have the diameter start to shrink as soon as you start using it like a regular abrasive blade.
