Japanese Warm Press & Laminated Construction
FUJI’s warm-press process, also referred to as hot pressing, brings the phenolic resin and abrasive together under controlled warmth. Material distribution and an even pore structure support consistent grinding behavior. JITAN’s distinctive layers can be seen at the wheel edge; this construction is an important part of its flexible grinding feel.
Self-Sharpening Zirconia & P-Grade Bond
The zirconia-based abrasive renews its working surface as grains fracture and worn grains are released. The P grade describes how firmly the bond retains the abrasive grains, not the hardness of zirconia itself. This balance helps maintain cutting action without relying on excessive operator pressure.
Uniform Pores for Heat Management
The resin distribution, pore structure and layered surface help manage grinding heat. This is especially useful for stainless steel and thin sheet where localized heating can cause discoloration or distortion. Keep the wheel moving and use suitable contact pressure; thickness, dwell time and workpiece support still affect the result.
Light-Pressure Grinding & Operator Comfort
JITAN is designed to cut with a light, controlled touch, reducing the need to force the grinder against the workpiece. Its flexible feel and controlled abrasive wear support smooth handling, reduced rebound and less loose grinding debris. The compact diameters are useful for weld access, corners and smaller fabricated components.
Less force: Let the abrasive do the work instead of holding heavy pressure throughout the pass.
Comfortable control: A compliant grinding feel helps operators guide the wheel accurately over the surface.
Heat-sensitive work: The 3mm option supports controlled grinding on thin stainless steel; the 6mm option suits general fabrication and stock removal.
Lower visible dust or vibration does not establish safe exposure levels or prevent occupational disease. Use suitable extraction, protective equipment and the wheel and grinder instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the P grade mean?
P is the wheel bond grade: it describes the bond’s ability to retain abrasive grains. It does not describe the mineral hardness or grit size of zirconia. JITAN uses this grade as part of its balance of cutting action, abrasive release and grinding feel.
Which thickness should I choose for thin stainless steel?
Choose the 3mm option for controlled grinding on thin stainless steel. Keep passes light and moving, support the workpiece and check the finish. The 6mm option is suited to general fabrication and stock removal; ask about 4mm where an intermediate specification is preferred.
Does JITAN grind twice as fast on every material?
No. In the reported 20-minute 105 × 6mm comparison, JITAN removed 2.29 times as much SS400 steel and 1.32 times as much SUS304 stainless steel as the comparison wheel. These results should not be applied to all materials, grinders or sizes.
Can JITAN be used on my existing grinder?
Check the exact diameter, bore, guard and mounting arrangement. The grinder’s speed must not exceed the wheel’s marked maximum operating speed. A 105mm wheel is not automatically interchangeable with a 100mm wheel; ask FUJI to confirm the specification for your equipment.
What information helps FUJI recommend a wheel?
Provide the workpiece material and thickness, grinding task, grinder model and speed, required wheel diameter and bore, and expected quantity. Include the current wheel and the improvement you need, such as shorter grinding time, better surface control or reduced wheel consumption.

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.

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.
