Crafted with advanced center-cut sandpaper technology, FUJI Sanpla Flap Discs deliver robust grinding power and exceptional sharpness. Engineered to outperform traditional flexible wheels, the Sanpla series boasts a lifespan 5 to 8 times longer and operates at 2 to 3 times the speed.
Whether you are deburring heavy steel or polishing stainless steel, these discs significantly boost efficiency while cutting operational costs. Available in three specialized models (Q, T, TH), FUJI Flap Discs are the top choice for industrial metalworking.
Why Upgrade to Sanpla Flap Discs?
✅ Superior Longevity Engineered to withstand high-speed grinding without rapid wear. Lasts 5-8x longer than standard flexible wheels, reducing downtime.
✅ Fast Material Removal Premium abrasive grains (Zirconia/Alumina) ensure aggressive cutting and smooth finishes in a single step.
✅ Cool Cutting Action The overlapping flap design promotes airflow, reducing heat buildup and preventing discoloration on stainless steel.
✅ Versatile Application From heavy weld removal to surface preparation, compatible with General Steel, Stainless Steel, and Non-ferrous metals.

About FUJI Grinding Wheel
Fuji Grinding Wheel is a premier manufacturer with 70 years of Japanese engineering expertise. We specialize in providing industrial-grade abrasive solutions that enhance productivity and safety. From our advanced manufacturing plant in Toyama, Japan, we supply the world with precision grinding tools.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between Sanpla T and Sanpla TH?
Sanpla T is a standard tapered disc ideal for general flat surface grinding. Sanpla TH (Taper Hard) is stiffer and more aggressive, designed specifically for heavy deburring and removing casting skin.
Q2: Can I use Type Z (Zirconia) on mild steel?
Yes, Zirconia performs exceptionally well on mild steel and will last longer than Aluminum Oxide, although it is slightly more expensive.
Q3: Do you offer OEM services?
Yes, we provide comprehensive OEM and Private Label services. We can customize the bore size (15mm/16mm), packaging, and branding to suit your market needs.

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.
Fuji Abrasive Technical Selection Chart
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.
