diamond blades

diamond blade on a flush cutting arbor. This way you just thread the blade on to the 5/8-11 spindle and don't need any special wrenches. Additionally you pick up more cutting depth and can use the entire surface of the blade in a limited fashion for grinding or surfacing.
I use a variety of brands but if you wanted a good reliable (pricey) supplier, I would look into Pearl abrasives.
I also use a lot of diamond grinding cups for rough shaping of stone and masonry.
On my variable speed metabo I run diamond polishing pads routinely for stone polishing. You can only do this at the lowest speed or you will overheat the pads and the stone.
I also use a 3" by 3" sanding drum for cleaning up sink holes or smoothing radii. This is another application that needs a lower spindle speed.
In most cases it is rather cumbersome to deal with hoses but some angle polishers (slower speed than grinders) have a center water feed. I use one of these all the time with diamond core bits to cut holes for plumbing fixtures, etc.

JFink,
I like the new thin kerf metal cutoff blades. They cut much faster than the old thicker blades.

Diamond blade
Thin abrasive cut off...great for automotive work. cuttin nuts and bolts........
Thick abrasive for grinding stuff
Carborundum disc over rubber backer for sanding prepping rusty things.
Every once in a while, something goes right!
Sanding discs for coping, a trick I learned right here. I wish i could remember from whom, because it's a good trick.

My sanding disk stays on the grinder 90% of the time. Next favorite is a diamond blade. Scariest is the chainsaw carving attachment.
