Cutting discs- how long should they last?

Hey ho chaps.


Finally got cracking on my mini today and cut off the wing with my newly purchased angle grinder. Since it didn't come with any cutting discs, I bought a couple of thin screwfix ones off ebay, thinking that would do me. But having used one to take off the wing, by the time i'd finished it had shrunk down to about a quarter of it's original size! It only just pokes over the edge of the disc guard now, and i'll need to use a new one.


Is this the normal life span for a cutting disc? It was a pretty good quality one, so is it just to expected, or am I doing something wrong?

Also, is it possible to use those diamond blade things I've read about? Or are they only for stone?

Thanking you all!
