FUJI Sakura Cermet Saw Blades for Portable Metal Cutting
FUJI Sakura blades use cermet cutting tips for metal sawing. The 135JA is intended for compatible rechargeable metal cutters. The 100A/U/Z group is listed in the Japanese catalog for circular saws and dustproof cutters. These are distinct applications: matching the bore alone does not establish machine compatibility.
Do not fit a toothed blade to an ordinary angle grinder unless the machine manufacturer expressly permits that exact blade and guarded configuration. The Japanese application heading and the machine instructions take precedence over a generic translated description.

The catalog gives a grouped speed range of 8,000–13,000 min⁻¹ for this section, not a separately assigned limit for each row. Use the maximum speed marked on the exact blade; never treat the upper end of this range as approval for every model. The catalog marks 100Z as discontinued after existing stock is exhausted. Confirm availability.
Sakura 110J appears in the illustration, but the current table does not provide its dimensions or speed. Request the exact blade label and current specification rather than substituting Tsubaki 110TU data.
Why choose a Sakura cermet-tipped saw blade?
Cermet combines ceramic and metallic constituents in the cutting tip. FUJI's Sakura catalog highlights heat resistance, wear resistance and a special tip composition intended to reduce tip chipping. These properties support repeated metal cutting where the cutting edge encounters heat and abrasion. Choose the model for the workpiece and the cutter rather than treating the entire Sakura range as one universal blade.
Heat and wear resistance at the cutting edge
The cermet tips are designed to retain cutting performance when sawing iron and stainless steel in the approved applications. For workshop buyers, the useful comparison is the number of acceptable cuts, edge condition and replacement interval on the actual material. Blade life varies with material grade, section thickness, feed, clamping and machine condition.
Thin cutting section for rechargeable cutters
Sakura 135JA uses a 1.1 mm cutting thickness. The catalog describes this thin-blade design as reducing cutting resistance and improving cutting performance and service life. It is a practical choice to evaluate for portable metal-cutting work where the cutter and blade dimensions match. A thin blade still needs correct support and straight feeding; it should not be twisted in the cut.
Material-specific options for a more useful selection
The range includes separate choices for thicker and thinner ferrous sections and for aluminum. This lets maintenance and fabrication teams specify a blade for the job instead of assuming that a common 20 mm bore makes all versions interchangeable. Assess cut straightness and burr formation against your downstream welding, assembly or finishing requirements.
Applications in fabrication, installation and maintenance
Metal fabrication workshops
For compatible iron and stainless-steel work, the catalog lists angle steel, bolts, conduit, round and square tubing, lined steel tube and deck plate. These cover common cut-to-length and fitting tasks. Confirm section thickness and cutting capacity before use, particularly where a tube wall, solid fastener and formed plate place different demands on the teeth.
Construction and on-site installation
A compatible rechargeable metal cutter can bring the cutting operation to the work area for conduit, pipe and metal-profile installation. Match the blade to the tool's permitted diameter, bore and speed, and provide a secure cutting position with supported workpieces. The blade diameter alone does not determine the maximum section that the machine can cut.
Industrial maintenance and repair
For replacement pipework, brackets and other approved metal components, identify the material before selecting the blade. Use the iron/stainless-steel options for their specified duties; consider 100Z for aluminum only with a compatible machine and confirmed stock. Check the existing blade label when replacing an older Sakura model.
Frequently asked questions
Are Sakura 135JA and 100A/U/Z the same type of replacement blade?
No. The 135JA is listed for rechargeable cutters, while the Japanese catalog groups 100A/U/Z under circular saws and dustproof cutters. Their diameters, cutting thicknesses, tooth counts and speed information differ. Confirm the exact combination before ordering.
Which blade should I choose for stainless steel or aluminum?
The catalog lists iron and stainless steel for 135JA and the 100A/U options. Within the 100 mm group, 100A is intended for thicker material and 100U for thinner material. The 100Z is the aluminum option and is marked for discontinuation once stock is exhausted. Ask for confirmation using your material grade and section dimensions.
Does this page include the rechargeable cutting machine?
The product described here is the saw blade. Panasonic EZ4542 is a catalog compatibility example for 135JA, not a machine supplied with the blade. Confirm the required blade quantity, packaging and machine version with your quotation.
Can I order a replacement Sakura 110J?
Send a photograph of the existing blade label and the cutter nameplate. The illustrated 110J should not be specified using dimensions or speed limits copied from another model. We will confirm the appropriate specification and availability for the inquiry.
Checks before cutting
Confirm machine model, guard, diameter, bore, flange and maximum speed.
Choose the blade for the material and section thickness; secure the workpiece and support the cut correctly.
Inspect tips and blade body, follow the marked rotation direction and machine instructions.
Stop for binding, damaged tips or abnormal vibration. Do not force the feed or alter the bore.
What to include in an inquiry
Send the cutter model, blade label, material grade, section size, desired cut quality and quantity. Our team can help match the blade to your machine and application, confirm stock and provide a quotation. For other sizes, see Sakura 165 mm blades or Tsubaki blades.
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.

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.
