Half the size, better cutting angle. Completely different tools imo. So yes if you're using it for it's intended purpose

Definitely easier to work with for smaller cuts, safer too. I only get the angle grinder out for big stuff, the cut off gets used a lot more often for me.
Anyone wondering, I have this Dewalt cut off and also the Milwaukee version. The Dewalt is better, only have the Milwaukee as I use M12 in our motorhome. If I had to pick one, it would be the Dewalt, an easy pick over the Milwaukee
This uses a 3-inch disc with a max cutting depth of just under 1-inch into the material you're cutting, but if there were any obstructions- for instance if the wire mesh was an inch deep into the plaster and you were trying to cut the wire flush with the hole's edges, you'd run into the problem of the tool being obstructed by the plaster before the blade hits the mesh.
That being said, I've used it for such things. You can also replace the metal cutting disc and put a masonry disc to cut into cement.
A regular grinder is more powerful and cuts deeper, but this cut-off grinder style is perfect for quick, convenient, and safer work.
This tool isn't for opening Amazon boxes...
