FUJI Sakura F-Type / S-Type Cermet Saw Blades are metal-cutting circular saw blades available in 305, 355 and 405 mm diameters. Select F-Type for general steel and S-Type for stainless steel. Match the exact blade model to the material, section size and an approved metal-cutting saw; maximum speed varies by model.
The Sakura series uses cermet (ceramic-metal composite) cutting tips. Cutting teeth remove chips rather than wearing through the workpiece like an abrasive disc. Confirm machine approval for tipped blades, blade diameter, bore, flanges, guard and operating speed before ordering. A matching bore alone does not establish compatibility.
Why Choose Sakura Cermet Blades?
❄️ Cold Cutting (Low Heat) Use the speed specified for the exact blade and workpiece. Correct speed, secure clamping and steady feed help control heat and maintain cut quality.
Controlled Cut Quality Unlike abrasive discs that grind through metal, Sakura blades chip away material. Cut finish and burr formation depend on material, wall thickness, blade condition and feed. Inspect the cut edge and deburr where required.
💎 Cermet Tip Technology Equipped with high-grade Cermet (Ceramic-Metal composite) tips. Select the specified tip grade for the material and cutting conditions; blade life also depends on workholding, feed and machine condition.
Model-Specific Compatibility The listed models have a 25.4 mm bore. Check the complete machine and blade specifications before fitting. 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 suitable steel profiles within the approved machine capacity.
Pipe Fabrication: Preparing steel tubes for subsequent fabrication; inspect and finish the edges as required.
Window & Door Frame: Precision cutting of reinforced profiles.
💡 Expert Operation Tip: Use only a machine explicitly approved for the selected tipped saw blade. Do not fit a toothed blade to an abrasive-only cut-off machine. Never exceed the maximum speed marked on the blade, and follow any lower speed required by the machine or cutting application. 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 is a ceramic-metal composite used for cutting tips. It differs from conventional cemented carbide in composition; choose the blade grade specified for the material rather than assuming all cermet grades outperform all carbide grades.
Q: Can I use the F-Type blade for Stainless Steel?
A: Choose S-Type for stainless steel and F-Type for general steel. Confirm the exact model against the material grade, wall thickness and saw specifications.
Q: Can these blades be re-sharpened?
A: Ask FUJI or a qualified blade service to assess the exact model and its condition before re-sharpening. Do not use a blade with damaged, loose or missing tips.
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.

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.

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.
