Why would the O.P. want to buy one (a fairly expensive tool, not to
mention grinding disks) when they can simply rent one at any decent
equipment rental place? (BTW, the rental place will usually make you pay
for a disk, although the last time I rented one, I simply used the disk
already in the grinder and wasn't charged for it.)
