OVERVIEW

Long-Lasting Grinding Performance for Professional Welders

Experience the difference that premium abrasives make with the Sait Encore Type 27 Flap Disc. Designed for the professional welder who demands reliability and performance, this 5-inch disc (SKU 71225) is a powerhouse for heavy grinding and blending. The "Encore" designation signifies that this disc is built with a higher volume of flaps than standard competitors, giving you a longer-lasting tool that keeps you grinding when others would have already worn down. For welders, this means less time stopping to swap out discs and more time focusing on the bead.

The 30 Grit Zirconium grain is aggressive and tough, making it the ideal choice for taking down heavy welds, beveling edges, or removing thick rust and scale. Unlike traditional aluminum oxide discs, Zirconium grain stays sharp longer, cutting cooler and faster. This specific disc is a true multi-tasker in the shop. Whether you are fabricating mild steel structures, finishing stainless steel food-grade equipment, or grinding aluminum components, this single disc handles it all. It is specially formulated to prevent "loading" (clogging) on soft aluminum and is certified contaminant-free for stainless steel, ensuring your welds remain pure and corrosion-resistant.

The Type 27 flat shape offers excellent control for blending on flat surfaces, while the 7/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with your standard 5-inch angle grinders. The cotton backing adds a layer of durability and helps dampen vibration, reducing operator fatigue during long grinding sessions. Upgrade your abrasive arsenal with a flap disc that works as hard as you do.

Why Welders Choose the Sait Encore:

  • Versatility: One disc for Steel, Stainless, and Aluminum saves time and money.
  • Durability: Extra flaps mean you get more grinding time per disc.
  • Performance: 30 Grit Zirconium rips through metal fast.
  • Quality: Made by SAIT, a trusted name in industrial abrasives.

FAQ

This Sait Encore flap disc is designed for versatility. It is effective on Ferrous Metals (Steel), Stainless Steel (it is contaminant-free), and Aluminum (resists loading).

Type 27 discs are flat, making them ideal for blending and finishing on flat surfaces usually at a lower angle (0-15 degrees). Type 29 discs are conical, better for aggressive stock removal and contour work at higher angles (15-25 degrees). This product is a Type 27.

The 'Encore' series from Sait indicates a high-density design. These discs contain larger and more flaps than standard general-purpose discs, providing a significantly longer lifespan.

30 grit is considered coarse. It is best suited for heavy stock removal, grinding down large welds, and aggressive shaping. For finer finishing, you would typically move to 60, 80, or 120 grit.

This specific disc is formulated to resist loading (clogging) on aluminum, which is a common problem with standard abrasive discs. This ensures consistent cutting performance.

This disc has a standard 7/8" arbor, which fits most standard 4.5-inch, 5-inch, and larger angle grinders.

Yes, it is manufactured to be contaminant-free, meaning it will not introduce iron or other impurities that could cause rust or corrosion on stainless steel surfaces.
