OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Zirconium Flap Disc for Heavy Stock Removal

The Sait 71225 Encore Type 27 Flap Disc is engineered for high-performance industrial environments where efficiency and longevity are paramount. As part of the renowned Encore series, this abrasive disc is constructed with a higher density of flaps compared to standard models. This design innovation packs more abrasive material onto the 5-inch disc, resulting in extended service life and fewer changeovers, which directly translates to reduced downtime and lower consumable costs for fabrication shops and manufacturing facilities.

Featuring premium Zirconium grain, this 30-grit disc is designed for aggressive stock removal. Zirconium is a self-sharpening grain that fractures under pressure to reveal fresh cutting edges, maintaining a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the disc. The Type 27 (flat) profile is particularly effective for blending and finishing operations on flat surfaces, allowing operators to apply optimal pressure for rapid material removal without gouging the workpiece.

One of the standout features of this Sait flap disc is its exceptional versatility. It is formulated to perform across a wide range of materials, streamlining inventory requirements. It is contaminant-free, making it safe for use on Stainless Steel without risk of corrosion or cross-contamination. Additionally, the abrasive coating is engineered to resist loading when used on soft metals like Aluminum, a common issue with standard abrasives that can lead to premature failure. The durable cotton backing provides a stable yet slightly cushioned base, absorbing vibration and ensuring a smooth, consistent finish even during heavy grinding applications.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Extended Life: Densely packed flaps provide more abrasive surface area.
  • Multi-Material Capability: Effective on Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum.
  • Aggressive Cut: 30 Grit Zirconium grain handles heavy weld removal efficiently.
  • Operational Efficiency: Reduced wheel changes mean higher throughput.

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.
