FS-B30E Wet Precision Cutting for Test Pieces and Quality Control

The FUJI KOSOKU FS-B30E is an enclosed wet precision abrasive cut-off machine in the F Cutter Series (Fカッターシリーズ・精密砥石切断機). It is designed for cutting test pieces and workpieces whose cut surfaces require inspection, with applications in research, testing, quality control and production.

Its useful features are a sliding vise table, two cutting movements, coolant delivery and magnetic separation of ferrous particles. For metallographic sample preparation, match the abrasive wheel and cutting conditions to the material and the examination method. Cutting quality must be validated on the actual sample rather than assumed from the machine alone.

Two Cutting Movements and Controlled Workpiece Positioning

The FS-B30E supports cutting with the grinding wheel fixed while the vise base slides horizontally, and cutting by raising and lowering the grinding wheel. The vise base uses slide bearings for smooth movement and wear resistance. Select the movement and fixture arrangement according to the workpiece and the operation manual.

The 80 mm vise opening is a clamping dimension, not the maximum cutting diameter. The catalog cutting capacity is Ø75 mm. Irregular parts, tubes and assemblies need an individual clamping review; send a drawing or photograph before ordering.

Wet Cutting, Coolant and Magnetic Separation

The standard catalog configuration includes a 60 W coolant pump and a 25 W magnetic separator. Coolant supports heat control at the cut, while the magnetic separator removes ferrous particles. It does not replace routine coolant-system cleaning or remove every type of contaminant.

For a repeatable process, check coolant delivery, fluid condition, workpiece restraint and wheel condition according to the operating instructions. An enclosed hood helps contain the cutting zone, but approved guarding, operating procedures and appropriate protective equipment remain necessary.

Use F-Cut Precision Wheels Matched to the Material

The standard accessory is F-Cut PWA100N 255 × 1.2 × 31.75 mm. The catalog wheel-size range is 255 × 1.0–1.5 mm with the specified bore options. Confirm the exact bore, flange arrangement, wheel speed rating and wet-use suitability for your machine before installation.

FUJI offers precision wheel grades for different steels and alloys. Send the material grade, hardness and required section quality so that the wheel can be selected for the task. Do not substitute Super Raicho hand-held angle-grinder discs or choose a wheel solely because its thickness is similar.

See the FUJI cut-off wheel range for broader consumable categories; request the F-Cut specification specifically for this machine.

Applications and Sample Acceptance

  • Metallographic preparation: sectioning test pieces before the subsequent mounting, grinding and polishing stages required by the laboratory procedure.
  • Production quality control: preparing sections from representative metal parts for inspection, subject to capacity and fixture suitability.
  • Research and process development: comparing cut quality across selected wheel grades and controlled cutting conditions.

Before accepting a process, evaluate cut location, dimensional allowance, burrs, visible heat effects and the condition required for the next inspection stage. Record the wheel grade, material, feed conditions and coolant setup so that trial results can be reproduced. No universal cutting-time, wheel-life or burn-free guarantee is implied.

Installation Planning and Supplied Accessories

Plan access and installation for the 700 kg machine and its catalog footprint of 1,200 × 1,372 × 1,600 mm, plus the working and maintenance clearance specified in the installation instructions. The standard motor supply is three-phase 200 V; confirm site voltage and frequency with FUJI before arranging the electrical connection.

The catalog lists a waterproof cover, three F-Cut wheels, a spanner, cutting fluid (three 1-litre containers) and grease. A power cord is not included. Confirm the final accessory list, delivery arrangements, commissioning support and warranty terms in the written quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FS-B30E used for?

The FS-B30E is a wet precision abrasive cut-off machine for test-piece cutting, research, inspection, quality control and production tasks that require a controlled cut surface. Confirm the workpiece and acceptance criteria before selecting a wheel.

Which cutting wheel is supplied?

The official catalog lists three F-Cut PWA100N wheels, 255 × 1.2 × 31.75 mm. Use the approved precision wheel specification for the machine and material; hand-held angle-grinder discs are not interchangeable.

Is the FS-B30E a wet cutting machine?

Yes. The catalog specifies wet use, a 60 W coolant pump and a 25 W magnetic separator. Use the approved cutting fluid and follow the machine manual for coolant preparation and maintenance.

Can it connect directly to a 380 V supply?

The catalog standard is three-phase 200 V, with shaft speeds specified for 50 and 60 Hz. Do not connect it directly to a different supply. Ask FUJI to confirm an appropriate electrical configuration before ordering.

Does wet cutting guarantee an undamaged metallographic sample?

No universal guarantee can be made. Wheel selection, coolant delivery, feed and clamping affect the cut. Validate representative samples against your inspection requirements and allow for subsequent sample preparation.

Compare Other FUJI Cutting Machines

For a different capacity or workpiece arrangement, compare the F Cutter Series wet precision machines and the FUJI metal cut-off machine range. Select by material, cross-section, fixture requirements and cut-surface acceptance rather than motor power alone.

Request an FS-B30E Application Review and Quote

Send your material grade and hardness, maximum workpiece dimensions, sample drawing, daily cutting quantity, required cut quality, site voltage/frequency and destination country. FUJI can review the machine configuration and F-Cut wheel specification for your application.

FUJI Industrial Quality & Safety Protocols

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.

Standard Region Safety Factor (Burst Multiplier) Safety Logic & Benchmark
FUJI (High Precision) > 2.0x Engineered to exceed JIS requirements for maximum reliability.
Japan (JIS R 6242) 2.0x Extreme Safety: A wheel rated at 80m/s must withstand a 160m/s burst test.
Europe (EN 12413) 1.73x Risk Balanced: Provides high safety redundancy for most industrial apps.
USA (ANSI B7.1) 1.5x Efficiency Focused: Relies on machine guarding and operational procedures.

⚠️ Essential Safety Cautions & Operational Integrity

  • 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.
