Overview: Japanese Precision for Dust-Proof Cutters
The FUJI Ultra Hard Tipped Saw (Kiku 180CT / Botan 180BT) represents Japanese precision engineering at its finest. Designed for professionals who demand exceptional durability and cutting accuracy, this series is optimized for 180mm Dust-Proof Circular Saws.
Featuring high-grade Tungsten Carbide tips and a robust 1.8mm/2.0mm kerf design, these blades deliver superior performance when cutting dense materials like angle iron, channel steel, and aluminum. Rated for 4,500 RPM, they offer a perfect balance of speed, life, and economy.
Key Advantages
🛡️ Extended Lifespan The high-density steel body combined with premium carbide tips allows for significantly longer operational life compared to standard blades. This reduces downtime for blade changes.
⚡ Superior Accuracy Engineered for precision, this blade produces clean, smooth cuts with minimal burrs. This ensures a superior finish and reduces the need for secondary grinding or deburring.
🔇 Silent & Low Vibration Advanced blade tensioning provides a "silent effect," cutting with fewer vibrations. This creates a more comfortable working environment and enhances cutting stability.
💰 Economic Efficiency Despite its premium performance, this is a cost-effective solution. The robust carbide tips offer excellent value through extended service life and reduced replacement frequency.

Versatile Applications
This blade excels in cutting a wide range of industrial materials:
Construction: Metal wallboard, deck plates, aluminum sash.
Electrical: Wire ducts and cable trays.
⚠️ Safety Notice
RPM Limit: Do not exceed 4,500 RPM. Using this blade on high-speed angle grinders (10,000+ RPM) is dangerous and will cause blade failure.
Secure Clamping: Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent vibration and tooth breakage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes carbide tips superior to standard steel tips?
A: Carbide is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than steel. This translates to a longer blade life, the ability to maintain a sharp edge for longer, and superior performance when cutting high-density materials like steel and aluminum.
Q: Is this blade suitable for Aluminum?
A: Yes. The FUJI Ultra Hard Tipped Saw is effective on non-ferrous metals like aluminum sash. Its tooth geometry helps prevent clogging, ensuring a clean cut.
Q: Can I use this on a chop saw?
A: Only if the chop saw is rated for low RPM (Cold Saw type) or specifically designed as a Dry Cut Metal Saw (around 1,500 - 3,500 RPM). Do not use on abrasive chop saws that run at very high speeds.
Why Choose FUJI Saws?
Choosing FUJI means investing in Japanese manufacturing excellence. Our Kiku and Botan series are a testament to our commitment to providing economical, high-performance solutions that enhance productivity and deliver unmatched precision.
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.
