SAITLAM WIND is a special flap disc for stainless steel (inox) from SAIT Abrasivi, made in Italy and supplied in Lebanon by Rousse. It is SAIT’s special line for stainless steel, chosen when a cooler cut and a clean finish on inox matter.
A flap disc carries overlapping abrasive-cloth flaps on a semi-flexible backing, so it grinds and finishes in one step: it removes material like a grinding wheel but leaves a smoother finish, runs cooler and quieter, and keeps cutting as fresh grain is exposed.
Applications
- Grinding and blending welds on stainless steel without overheating
- Finishing stainless rails, sinks, tanks and food equipment
- Work on thin stainless sheet where heat discolouration must be avoided

FAQ
Flap disc or grinding wheel?
A grinding wheel removes material fast but leaves a rough surface. A flap disc removes material and finishes at the same time, with less heat, vibration and noise, so you often save a finishing step.
When should I choose WIND?
When heat is the problem: thin stainless sheet, visible welds and parts that must not discolour. For general stainless work the standard SAITLAM Z is the economical choice.
What do people call it in Lebanon?
Usually disc mdala3 or wara2 mdala3 (ديسك مضلع); also flap disc.
أسئلة شائعة
ديسك مضلع أو حجر جلخ؟
حجر الجلخ بيشيل بسرعة بس بيترك السطح خشن. الديسك المضلع بيشيل وبينعّم بنفس الوقت، بحرارة وهزّة وصوت أقل، فبتوفّر مرحلة تنعيم.
إيمتى بختار WIND؟
لما تكون الحرارة هي المشكلة: صاج ستانلس رقيق، لحامات ظاهرة وقطع ما لازم يتغيّر لونها. للشغل العادي SAITLAM Z أوفر.
