The FUJI Shirasagi Cutting Wheel solves a common industrial problem: cutting protruding bolts and studs completely flat. Unlike standard flat discs where the grinder's locking nut prevents close contact, the Shirasagi features a unique Special Depressed Center.
This design allows the locking nut to sit inside the wheel's depression, enabling the abrasive surface to make full, flush contact with the workpiece. Ideal for orthogonal cutting, it delivers high workability with minimal burn and burr.
Key Advantages:
Bolt Root Cutting: Cuts bolts flush to the surface (zero clearance).
High Precision: Available in 1mm ultra-thin for speed or 2.4mm for durability.
Double Safety: Reinforced on both sides with high-strength fiberglass mesh.
Clean Finish: Minimizes heat and burrs, reducing post-cut grinding.
The "Flush Cut" Solution
🔧 Unique Depressed Center Standard discs force you to cut at an angle because the grinder nut sticks out. The Shirasagi's recessed hub hides the nut, allowing for a perfectly flat, 90-degree orthogonal cut right at the root of the bolt.
🛡️ Double Reinforcement Safety is critical when cutting closely to surfaces. We use a double-sided cross-fiber reinforcement system that enhances stability and prevents shattering under lateral stress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why do I need a specific wheel for cutting bolts?
A: Standard flat discs hit the surface with their lock nut before the wheel cuts flush, leaving a protruding stub. The Shirasagi's recessed center hides the nut, allowing you to cut the bolt completely flush with the surface.
Q: Can I use this on Stainless Steel?
A: Yes. The 1mm version (AZ60P) is particularly excellent for stainless steel as it cuts cool and prevents heat discoloration.
Q: What grinder does this fit?
A: It fits standard 4-inch (100mm/105mm) angle grinders. We offer standard 15mm bore holes, but we can customize to 16mm for international compatibility.
⚠️ Safety Notice
Always ensure the disc is properly seated. Even though Shirasagi is double-reinforced, always use a safety guard and appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection) when performing flush cuts.
About FUJI Grinding Wheel
FUJI Grinding Wheel specializes in solving specific industrial challenges through Japanese engineering. The Shirasagi series is our answer to the demand for precision flush cutting.
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.
