Any one have experience of them? Are they handy for small spaces or not much smaller than my 115mm one?

Certainly cheap!
I've got the bosch version that looks about the same size.
Certainly very handy for getting into small spaces and great for cutting small things up.
Also very useful with a roloc holder
I'd be concerned if the cheap ones have enough power to be useful?

yeh^ if it sucks then get a refund
almost has to be worth it if you can gnaw a rusted bolt or exhaust hanger off a car

The disk is 75mm so smaller overall I would reckon. I have an air one that size and they are useful for small spaces even with the hose.
Worth a punt - 500W brushless motor, rotating speed up to 19500 rpm

Not directly. I've got some adapters if you need them or they are easy enough to make if you have a lathe.
You can get 3d printed adapters as well but I'm not sure I'd trust one of those at 20k rpm

What thread do the roloc's use?

Not sure, some sort of acme thread I'd guess.
The ends that go into the grinder are M5 for bosch (and the 12v parkside copy)
M6 for Worx, and the 18v Parkside

I rooted around and bought a Brushless one, got a good selection of discs from Aliexpress too.
Bought a bit of stuff from Aliexpress lately looks to be Ebay and Amazon quality stuff sometimes cheaper sometimes not you hav eto be on the ball as VAT is added at the end. For the price of the grinder I feel better with Ebay as it it fails in the first 5 minutes I have some back up.
Be interesting to see who finds it most useful and who brakes it first

I have both genuine and an afterarket roloc backing pads, they both have a 1/4" UNC threaded hole.

I have the Katsu version. It has come in very handy a couple of times with restricted access.

Make sure to get a brushless one and it should be a very good tool.
I have the parkside which the motor and rpm is a but lacking but still much better than their 115mm 20v version - which isnt saying much I suppose. The parkside 3" is not bad enough for me to replace it but not great either.
The 3" one can cut deeper than a 115mm grinder due to the nut being much smaller.
