I have been using the #426 Reinforced Cut-off Wheels with a #402 mandrel.
http://www.dremel.com/en-us/attachme...=66367&I=66371 They are very thin and about 1-1/4" dia. When they wear down and need changing I save the worn down wheels. They come in handy for tight places.

These wheels are pretty tough. I even used them to grind out the welds on my rusted out rear crossmember. That area was too tight to get my 4-1/2" grinder into.

I have ordered a new EZ Lock attachment http://www.dremel.com/en-us/attachme...=66367&I=69877 . It should make it easier changing the wheels but the shaft may be too large for some tight places. I will let you know how it works.

BTW, here is a picture of one of the elevator bolt heads removed with the drill method. I did not center punch it so I got a little off center but it came off just the same.
