FUJI Sakura F-Type / S-Type Cermet Saw Blades represent the pinnacle of industrial metal cutting. Available in 305mm, 355mm, and 405mm diameters, these blades deliver precision "cold cuts" on steel and ferrous metals. Engineered for low-RPM (1000-1500) operation, they minimize heat generation, preventing material distortion and edge hardening.
Specifically designed for FUJI FS Series Dry Metal Cutters and other universal low-speed cutting machines, the Sakura series combines advanced Cermet (Ceramic-Metal) tips with a specialized tooth geometry for burr-free results.
Why Choose Sakura Cermet Blades?
❄️ Cold Cutting (Low Heat) Optimized for 1000-1500 RPM. The low cutting speed significantly reduces friction heat, preserving the material's structural integrity and preventing "blue burn" marks.
⚡ Burr-Free Finish Unlike abrasive discs that grind through metal, Sakura blades chip away material. This produces a smooth, milled-like finish that is virtually burr-free, eliminating secondary deburring steps.
💎 Cermet Tip Technology Equipped with high-grade Cermet (Ceramic-Metal composite) tips. These tips offer higher heat resistance and hardness than Tungsten Carbide, extending blade life in continuous cutting.
🛡️ Universal Adaptability Standard 25.4mm bore size fits most industrial metal cutting machines. Available in 305mm (12"), 355mm (14"), and 405mm (16").

Industrial Applications
FUJI Sakura blades are essential for industries requiring precision and low thermal impact:
Steel Construction: Cutting structural beams and C-channels without sparks.
Pipe Fabrication: Cleanly cutting pipes for welding without needing to deburr.
Window & Door Frame: Precision cutting of reinforced profiles.
💡 Expert Operation Tip: Never use these blades on high-speed abrasive chop saws (3000+ RPM). These are strictly for Low-RPM Cold Saws. Using them at high speeds will instantly overheat and destroy the Cermet tips. Always clamp the workpiece securely to prevent vibration, which can chip the teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between Cermet and Carbide?
A: Cermet (Ceramic + Metal) is harder and more heat-resistant than standard Tungsten Carbide. This allows it to maintain a sharp edge longer when cutting ferrous metals, providing a smoother finish.
Q: Can I use the F-Type blade for Stainless Steel?
A: It is not recommended. Stainless steel is harder and tends to work-harden. The S-Type blade has a higher tooth count and specific geometry designed to handle stainless steel effectively.
Q: Can these blades be re-sharpened?
A: Yes, Cermet blades can be re-sharpened by professional services. However, due to the high hardness of the tips, specialized diamond grinding wheels are required.
About FUJI Grinding Wheel
Since 1953, FUJI Grinding Wheel has been a leader in Japanese abrasive engineering. We specialize in high-performance solutions for the shipbuilding, automotive, and heavy industries. Our mission is to enhance your productivity with tools that are safe, durable, and efficient.
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.
