The FUJI Gold Raicho Cutting Disc 125*2.5mm is a premium cutting solution engineered for professionals who demand exceptional performance and longevity. Designed specifically for 5-inch (125mm) handheld angle grinders, this disc combines advanced Japanese abrasive technology with rigorous manufacturing standards.
Crafted with a unique sharp abrasive formula, the disc achieves an optimal balance between speed and durability. Its 2.5mm thin design ensures low-resistance cutting, while the proprietary bond extends service life to 1.5–3 times longer than conventional discs. This translates to fewer changes, increased productivity, and lower long-term costs.
Meeting strict Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), it is the reliable choice for metal fabrication, automotive repair, and construction.
Core Advantages

Industrial Applications
The FUJI Gold Raicho excels in environments where precision and reliability are non-negotiable:
✔Metal Processing Plants: Continuous cutting of steel bars and sheets. Reduces production interruptions.
✔Automotive Repair: Ideal for exhaust pipes and chassis trimming in tight spaces.
✔Construction: Cutting rebar and structural steel on-site. Lightweight for high-altitude work.
✔Shipyards: Processing marine-grade steel plates and pipes with high wear resistance.
✔Fabrication: Supports cutting stainless steel components for assembly; deburr the cut edge when required.
⚠️ Safety & Storage Guidelines
Shelf Life: Recommend to use within 3 years of manufacture. Store in a dry environment (< 60% humidity) to prevent moisture damage.
Dry Cutting Only: Do not use with water or coolants, as this degrades the resin bond.
PPE Required: Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a face shield. Ensure the grinder guard is in place.

The points above are English summaries of individual customer experiences, not performance guarantees.
Yes. Gold Raicho is part of FUJI’s Super Raicho cutting wheel range. This page describes the 125 × 2.5mm version; reviews of the wider series may cover other sizes.
Which cutting applications suit the 125 × 2.5mm disc?
It is intended for cutting steel and stainless steel bars, tubes, profiles and sheet with compatible equipment. For aluminum or other non-ferrous alloys, confirm the exact material and application with FUJI before selecting a disc.
Will it fit my 125mm angle grinder?
Check the 125mm diameter, 22.23mm bore, approved cutting guard and flange arrangement against the grinder manual. The grinder’s rated speed must not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Diameter alone does not establish compatibility.
How should I compare cutting life and productivity?
Compare completed cuts, cutting time and disc consumption on the same material and section using comparable equipment. Disc life varies with workpiece thickness, feed pressure, grinder output and cutting technique; a series review does not establish a fixed life improvement for this size.
Can this cutting disc be used for side grinding?
No. Use this disc for its intended cutting operation. Select a suitable grinding wheel for weld removal, surface grinding or deburring that applies side pressure.
What information is needed for a quotation or sample request?
Send the required dimensions, workpiece material and section, grinder model, order quantity and delivery destination. For a comparison trial, include your current disc specification and the performance you want to improve. FUJI will confirm product suitability and supply details.

Why Choose FUJI?
Abrasive manufacturing expertise since 1953. FUJI specializes in resin-bonded grinding and cutting wheels, combining more than 70 years of experience with direct control over materials, formulation and production. Gold Raicho is part of FUJI's Super Raicho range and is manufactured in FUJI's own factory, rather than sourced as a third-party OEM wheel for relabelling.
Consistent quality under Japanese standards. FUJI applies applicable Japanese JIS production and quality-control requirements in its own manufacturing operations to support stable product quality. Control of raw materials, abrasive formulation and production helps maintain consistency between orders.
An established industrial abrasives manufacturer. FUJI reports a 30% share of Japan's resinoid grinding and cutting disc market. This company-reported figure describes FUJI's market position, rather than the performance or market share of this individual product.
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.
