FUJI Sakura 165KT / 165KA 165mm Cermet Tipped Saw Blades

165 mm Cermet Tipped Saw Blades for Steel and Stainless Steel

FUJI Sakura 165KT (さくら165KT) and Super Sakura 165KA (スーパーさくら165KA) are 165 mm cermet tipped saw blades for high-speed metal cutting machines. Both have 40 teeth and a 1.6 mm cutting width. The key selection difference is the mounting bore: 20 mm for 165KT and 22 mm for 165KA.

The FUJI catalog lists iron/steel and stainless steel as the applications. It describes the cermet tips as offering heat and wear resistance compared with conventional carbide tips, with special alloy processing to reduce tooth chipping. Service life and cut quality depend on the machine, material and cutting conditions.

Sakura 165KT vs Super Sakura 165KA Specifications

Dimensions and ratings above follow the FUJI Sakura catalog. Confirm the current blade label and machine instructions before use. Packaging quantity is not a statement of minimum order quantity.

Select the Blade for Your Metal Cutter

• Check the model and bore: 165KT and 165KA are not interchangeable by name. Confirm the specified 20 mm or 22 mm mounting arrangement.
• Check machine approval: use a machine approved for the blade type, diameter, mounting, material and operating method. Matching dimensions alone does not establish compatibility with a woodworking circular saw or an abrasive chop saw.
• Check speed: 8,500 rpm (165KT) and 8,000 rpm (165KA) are the maximum operating speeds, not a recommended cutting speed for every material. Follow the machine and blade instructions.
• Check the workpiece: provide the material grade, profile and wall thickness so cutting suitability and machine capacity can be confirmed. Do not extend the steel/stainless listing to aluminum without a specific recommendation.

Use and Handling

This is a toothed saw blade, not a resin-bonded abrasive wheel. Follow the cutter's instructions for guarding, clamping, blade installation, chip handling and protective equipment. Disconnect power before blade changes or inspection. Do not use a damaged blade or modify its bore. Stop and investigate unusual vibration, damaged teeth or abnormal cutting behavior.

The catalog's resistance-to-chipping description is not a guarantee against tooth damage. Select the appropriate cutting conditions for the material and use the blade only on approved equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Sakura 165KT and 165KA?

The catalog lists the same 165 mm diameter, 1.6 mm cutting width, 40 teeth. Maximum speed is 8,500 rpm for 165KT and 8,000 rpm for 165KA. The bore differs: 165KT is 20 mm, while Super Sakura 165KA is 22 mm and is marked for FTM165.

Is Sakura 165KT a 60-tooth blade?

No. The catalog specification for both models is 40 teeth.

Can these cermet blades cut stainless steel?

Stainless steel is a listed application. Confirm the grade, section thickness, machine and operating conditions when choosing the blade.

What is the maximum cutting thickness?

The blade table does not specify a universal thickness limit. Cutting capacity must be checked against the actual machine, material and workpiece shape.

Can I order either model for any 165 mm circular saw?

No. Confirm the exact cutter model and approved blade specification. A matching diameter and a speed within the individual blade rating are not sufficient on their own.

Request the Correct Sakura Blade

For a quotation, send the required model, cutter nameplate, bore, material grade, workpiece dimensions, quantity and delivery country. This lets FUJI confirm the blade specification before shipment.
