The FUJI Neo Flex Grinding Wheel (Super Flex Series) represents a significant evolution in abrasive technology for metal fabrication. Engineered for professionals who demand high-quality surface finishes, these 4-inch (100mm) wheels feature a unique 2mm to 3mm flexible resinoid bond.
Unlike traditional rigid grinding wheels that can gouge materials or cause "blue burn" marks, the Neo Flex conforms gently to the surface contours. This elasticity makes it the ultimate choice for curved surfaces, fine finishing, and pattern blending on stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.
Neo Flex wheels adapt to the workpiece, drastically reducing vibration and operator fatigue.

Key Product Features & Benefits
✅ Flexible Contour Adaptation The semi-flexible structure allows the wheel to bend slightly, maintaining maximum contact with curved or uneven surfaces without digging in. Ideal for pipe fabrication and tank polishing.
✅ Cool Grinding Technology The elastic bond helps dissipate heat rapidly. This prevents severe heat discoloration (blue burn) on heat-sensitive metals like Stainless Steel (SUS304/316).
✅ Reduced Operator Fatigue Engineered for ergonomic comfort. Internal testing shows a 30% decrease in hand-arm vibration (HAV) compared to standard rigid discs, ensuring safety during long, demanding shifts.
✅ Dual-Action Performance Acts as a bridge between a heavy grinding wheel and a fiber sanding disc. Removes weld seams while leaving a smooth, blended finish in a single step, saving valuable production time.
🔥 Advanced Manufacturing: Japanese Hot-Press Technology
Unlike conventional cold-pressed grinding discs that degrade quickly, the FUJI Neo Flex and Super Flex series are manufactured using our proprietary Japanese hot-pressing technology.
This advanced thermal curing process creates a denser, far more durable resin bond. The result? A grinding wheel that can operate safely at extreme industrial speeds (up to 72 m/s or 4,300 m/min) while lasting significantly longer. By requiring fewer wheel changeovers, the Neo Flex reduces industrial waste, making it a highly eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for high-volume foundries and shipyards.

⚙️ The FUJI Synergy: Pair with Kosoku Angle Grinders
To unlock the ultimate finishing results and maximize operational efficiency, we highly recommend pairing these flexible wheels with our original FUJI Kosoku Angle Grinders.
Because we manufacture both the power tool and the abrasive consumable, the torque output and RPM of our Kosoku grinders are perfectly calibrated to complement the elastic bond of the Neo Flex. This precise synergy prevents the motor from stalling under heavy loads and extends the lifespan of the grinding disc far beyond competitor combinations.
The FUJI Heritage: 70 Years of Industrial Excellence
A Legacy of Trust: We are a leading Japanese brand with proven expertise in industrial abrasives and tools since 1953.
The Dual-Manufacturer Advantage: We are the only Japanese manufacturer producing both grinding wheels and electric power tools, giving us an unmatched understanding of the complete grinding ecosystem.
Strict Quality Control: Every batch is rigorously inspected to meet international safety standards (JIS/ISO/EN), ensuring reliability you can trust.
⚠️ Safety First: Usage Guidelines
While Neo Flex wheels offer superior safety compared to rigid wheels, always adhere to strict industrial protocols:
Use a Backing Pad: Ensure the supplied backing pad is used if required by the specific thickness (especially for 2mm versions).
Check RPM Limits: Do not exceed the maximum speed of 72 m/s (approx. 13,700 RPM on a 4" grinder).
Wear PPE: Always wear eye protection, heavy-duty gloves, and a dust mask when operating.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between Super Flex and Neo Flex?
Both are flexible, but the Neo Flex (3mm) provides a slightly thicker cushion for finer finishing on specialized materials, while the Super Flex (2mm) offers an economical, aggressive cut for general steel and cast iron.
Q2: Can these wheels be used on Aluminum?
Yes, the AC grain structure works well on aluminum. However, for continuous, heavy aluminum fabrication, we recommend our specialized Non-Clogging Aluminum Wheels to completely prevent wheel loading.
Q3: Are they suitable for high-frequency or high-speed angle grinders?
Absolutely. Thanks to our hot-press manufacturing, they are rated for extreme industrial speeds up to 72m/s, making them fully compatible with standard electric, pneumatic, and high-frequency grinders.
Q4: What grit size should I choose for weld removal vs. polishing preparation?
Use Grit 36 or 46 for aggressive stock removal and grinding down heavy welds. Switch to Grit 80 or 120 for fine finishing, blending scratch marks, and surface preparation before final polishing or painting.

Choosing the correct abrasive wheel is critical for both operational efficiency and JIS-compliant safety. Fuji Grinding Wheels are engineered with precise technical markings to ensure the perfect match for your specific material and machine requirements.
Understanding Fuji Markings (e.g., WA 36 P BF)
Abrasive Type (WA/A/AZ): Determines the suitability for material hardness (e.g., WA for hardened steel, AZ for heavy-duty alloys).
Grit Size (16 - 120): Indicates the coarseness. Lower numbers for rapid removal; higher numbers for precision finishing.
Hardness Grade (L - S): Defines the bond strength. Correct selection prevents premature wheel wear or surface glazing.
Bonding Agent (BF): High-grade Resinoid bond reinforced for high-speed safety and impact resistance.
💡 Expert Selection Tip
For professional export markets, always verify the Peripheral Speed (m/s) compatibility. Fuji wheels are designed to exceed JIS Burst Speed factors, but operating at the recommended R.P.M. ensures the longest tool life and cleanest cut.
Note: Mismatched grit or hardness can lead to excessive heat buildup, affecting the workpiece's structural integrity.

Global Maintenance Standard: To maintain the high safety factor of Fuji wheels, avoid exposure to excessive humidity and chemical solvents during storage. Proper care preserves the resinoid bond's strength, crucial for high-load industrial applications.
Fuji products are manufactured following strict Japanese standard process requirements. Every wheel is engineered to meet or exceed JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), such as JIS R 6242 and B 4051. Our core engineering logic prioritizes maximum operator protection by maintaining safety factors and burst speed capabilities that often surpass the highest industry benchmarks.

Efficiency Focused: Relies on machine guarding and operational procedures.
1.RPM Compliance: Never exceed the maximum R.P.M. specified on the wheel. Using the sides of the wheels for grinding is strictly prohibited, as it compromises the structural integrity of the abrasive bond.
2.Mandatory Idling: Allow the tool to idle for one minute before beginning work. If a new wheel has been mounted, an idle run of three minutes is required to ensure dynamic stability.
3.Workpiece Stability: All materials must be securely fastened. Improperly secured workpieces can lead to vibration, wheel binding, and unsafe kickback forces.
4.Arbor Hole Integrity: Do not modify or enlarge the metal center of the arbor hole. A proper fit is critical; a mismatched arbor causes eccentric rotation and dangerous vibration levels.
5.PPE Requirements: Industrial-grade face and eye protection are mandatory at all times. Ensure all protective gear meets local safety compliance standards.
6.Guard Protection: Protection guards are designed to contain fragments in the unlikely event of a wheel failure. Never operate tools or machinery with guards removed.

Professional Export & Maintenance Insight
When deploying Fuji high-performance tools in overseas markets, ensure that the regional power grid frequency and voltage match the tool specifications. To maintain the superior burst speed safety of Fuji wheels, store abrasives in a dry, temperate environment. Humidity can degrade the resin bond, potentially lowering the wheel’s resistance to centrifugal forces.
