Good to hear.
Assuming that you got a grinding type, not saw type(blade).
I got a metal cut off saw a year ago.
Cheapo brand(low funds at the time) as I had to stay within a budget, but also be sure I got the right tool for the jobs at the time .. so large(maybe 350mm) had to be a priority.
Cost in the low, maybe mid hundred, and the next model up was maybe too.
Not really happy with what I got but only the clamp set up on it. Really loosey goosey and tedious to set up precisely. Once locked down was ok, just hard to setup a specific cut size accurately and if angle was needed, again made hard by the slackness in the clamping method.
But knowing it was a cheapo Chinese, I did want the cheapo cut off disk, so spent the $20 or so on a better quality(Euro brand of some kind can't recall).
After a few cuts, reasonably happy, but not entirely so I ended up forking out for an all purpose metal saw for it. Cost as much as the saw itself, but the cuts were hundred times better .. an actual cut, not grind!
Always wanted a band saw, but $ vs actual usage .. the metal saw blade for the cheapo drop saw does a good enough job of it.
I will end up modding the cheapo saw for now, make a better clamp, and look for a variable speed controller for it to slow it down for the multi purpose blade too.
