Product Overview: 4.5" Metal Grinder Cut Off Wheels from Japan
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.85/5 Average Rating from Global Industrial Users
The FUJI Super Tsurugi 115mm × 1.2mm T41 cut-off wheel is designed for 4.5-inch angle grinders used in professional metal fabrication, maintenance, construction, automotive repair, pipe work and general workshop cutting.
The 4.5-inch (115mm) size is undeniably the most popular specification for angle grinders in both European and American metalworking markets. Its thin 1.2mm profile is designed to reduce cutting resistance and material loss while maintaining a practical balance between cutting speed, disc stability and service life. Whether used for heavy industrial manufacturing or daily hardware retail, its compact size and exceptional maneuverability make it the top choice for countless cutting applications. However, the market is currently flooded with low-quality, counterfeited metal cut off wheels from Southeast Asia masquerading as famous brands. These cheap workshop-produced discs suffer from inconsistent batch quality, rapid wear, and severe safety hazards. At high rotational speeds, inferior wheels can easily crack, lose chunks, or burst completely, posing fatal risks to operators.
To eliminate these risks, FUJI introduces the "Super Tsurugi" 4.5-inch cutting disc for grinder. Manufactured entirely in our own facilities following strict Japanese standards, this 1.2mm ultra-thin disc perfectly balances aggressive cutting speed with outstanding durability. We utilize premium Saint-Gobain alumina abrasives and high-strength Sumitomo phenolic resin, reinforced with double-layer alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh. Complying with JIS R 6242 and JIS R 6212 standards, FUJI guarantees identical, top-tier performance from the first piece to the one-millionth piece.

Advantages of FUJI Cutting Discs
When searching for the Best cutting disc for metal, safety and efficiency are paramount. Our resin bonded cut off wheels offer the following distinct advantages over low-cost competitors:
Ultimate Safety & Burst Resistance: Inferior discs often explode under pressure. FUJI conducts destructive burst speed tests that exceed two times the rated speed required by Japanese JIS R 6241 standards. This is significantly higher than the American ANSI B7.1 and European EN 12413 standards.
Zero Burns & No Burrs: Dry cutting hard metals like stainless steel often leads to edge discoloration (burning) and heavy burrs. Our specialized abrasive formula dissipates heat efficiently, leaving a clean, smooth, and burr-free edge.
Unmatched Batch Stability: Avoid the lottery of OEM fake brands. As a true "source factory," our ISO-9001 certified automated production lines guarantee that every single metal cutting disc performs exactly like the last, maximizing your operational efficiency.
Extended Lifespan: Our proprietary formulation significantly reduces the wear rate of the disc, lowering your overall consumable costs while maintaining high-speed cutting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why do cheap cutting discs burst, and how does FUJI prevent this?
Low-priced discs often cut corners by reducing the layers of fiberglass mesh or using inferior resin, making them brittle at high rotational speeds. FUJI uses premium double-layer fiberglass and conducts burst tests that exceed 2x the JIS R 6241 rated speed, ensuring no bursting or fragmentation occurs.
2. Can FUJI provide bulk B2B or customized cutting wheels?
FUJI works with industrial customers, distributors and OEM partners on volume requirements and selected customized abrasive specifications. Diameter, thickness, bore, formulation, packaging and application requirements can be discussed according to production conditions and order volume.
3. Why am I getting burn marks on my metal when cutting?
Burn marks are caused by excessive heat buildup, usually due to dull abrasives or discs that are too thick, especially for inox material. FUJI's 1.2mm ultra-thin cutting discs, combined with sharp Saint-Gobain alumina, creates a highly efficient cutting action that dissipates heat rapidly, preventing discoloration.
4. What makes FUJI different from other brands flooding Southeast Asia?
Many "famous" brand discs in Southeast Asia are actually counterfeit or produced by inconsistent OEM workshops. FUJI is a true source factory with a 70-year Japanese heritage. We manage our own formulations and strict quality control, guaranteeing 100% batch-to-batch stability.
5. Can I use a 4.5" metal cutting disc on a 5" angle grinder?
Yes, a 4.5" (115mm) disc can safely be used on a 5" (125mm) angle grinder, provided the arbor size (22.23mm or 7/8") matches and the grinder's maximum RPM does not exceed the disc's rated 13,300 RPM limit.

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.
