   What do your need a wood blade for? That sounds like an extremely dangerous idea and would almost certainly result in a nasty kickback. There are blades made for carving which fit onto an angle grinder, you can see them at http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.asp?page=42527&category=1,42524&ccurrency=1&SID= . I'm not sure if this is what your after though. Remember, be smart and keep all of your limbs and organs where they belong, not on your shop floor.

   http://www.mcmaster.com has 4.5 inch blades but the arbor size is 3/8" and one is rated at 12,000 rpm max and another is 9,300 rpm. Can't imagine what you are trying to do.

   I had one for my Makita grinder -- it was a carbide tipped narrow kerf blade that I used for undercutting casings, etc. so they are available.

      I've got a carbide one.  I don't remember where I got it, but I'm pretty sure it was someplace easy like Home Depot or Amazon.  The maker's name is Oldham, which makes inexpensive blades for contractors and the like.  It is 4 3/8", which will be fine in a 4 1/2" grinder.  
      There are several different arbor diameters for those small angle grinders, so you may need to get a bushing for the blade you buy.  Fortunately, they're usually right near the blades and abrasive wheels for those machines.

   re: wood blade on a grinder

   First I would recommend NOT using a 4.5 inch grinder for this. Makita makes a 4" grinder which is much more manageable for this type of cutting, as well as a blade that fits it. If you've never used the 4" grinder it is the difference between night and day for comfortable and safe use...but still dangerous. Remember, the blade only turns in one direction so when cutting make sure you are cutting with the blade pulling away from you, not pushing towards you.

   You could try Woodcraft.com and search for Kutzall.
