FUJI Raicho Slim Gold Cutting Discs represent the highest standard of Japanese abrasive technology. Engineered for professionals, these high-grade thin cutting wheels (1mm - 2.1mm) are designed for precision cutting of stainless steel (thin plates, pipes, round bars), general steel, and ALC.
Unlike conventional wheels, the Raicho Slim Gold series features an innovative formulation that combines exceptional stiffness with razor-sharp performance. Manufactured under rigorous JIS standards, they deliver clean, burr-free cuts with minimal thermal damage.
Why "Slim Gold" Outperforms Competitors
In competitive performance tests, the FUJI 105x1mm cutting disc demonstrated remarkable superiority:
Durability: Cleanly cut through a 12mm diameter steel bar 35 times, compared to only 20 cuts by competing products. This translates to 1.5x longer lifespan.
Safety: Reinforced with Double-Sided Cross Fibre Mesh. This high-tensile reinforcement significantly enhances burst resistance, ensuring operator safety even under high-speed stress.
Efficiency: The ultra-thin profile reduces friction and material loss, allowing for faster cuts with less machine power.
Key Advantages
⚡ Superior Efficiency Advanced abrasive formulation requires less pressure, reducing operator fatigue and speeding up workflow.
Construction: Cutting steel reinforcements (rebar) and structural pipes.
💡 Pro Tip for Maximum Life: When cutting stainless steel, allow the disc to do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Let the disc reach full RPM before contacting the metal to prevent glazing and heat buildup. Always keep the cut straight (90 degrees) to prevent binding.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes Raicho Slim Gold different from regular discs?
A: They feature a premium abrasive formulation and advanced Japanese manufacturing that delivers up to 1.5x longer service life. The double-sided cross fibre reinforcement ensures exceptional stiffness and safety compared to standard thin wheels.
Q: Can these discs cut Stainless Steel effectively?
A: Yes. The specialized abrasive composition is "Iron-Free" (minimal contaminants), preventing rust and heat discoloration on stainless steel (INOX) while maintaining sharp cutting performance.
Q: How does this compare to the FUJI TSURUGI series?
A: The Raicho Slim Gold is our premium line focused on maximum precision, thinness, and longevity. The TSURUGI series is our economical line, offering excellent performance for general-purpose cutting at a lower cost point.

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.
