Having recently purchased a Dremel Mini-mite, its frustrating to see the thick cuts that the thinnest cut-off wheel makes, not to mention how brittle they are. I was wondering if others know of a good cut-off wheel made of metal maybe, and which is thin? Whats like the thinnest cut-off wheel that one can buy? Thanks.
Thinnest cut-off wheels?

For thin cuts, use circular saw blades in a mandrel . . .
Second that. I routinely use small blades down to 0.005" . Probably can get thinner ones, but even the 0.005 blades are rather delicate.

Third that. Add go slow with the blade, let it cut or it will get too hot.

I suppose the original poster might want to know where to get these things. Any large or well-stocked model shop should have, or be able to get, some. The on-line suppliers are a good source - here are some examples from Micromark - if the URL's wrap, just go to the Micromark site
