In the demanding world of construction, professionals require tools that deliver exceptional reliability. The FUJI 305mm High-Speed Rotation (GC Type) Cut-Off Wheel is the premier choice for contractors working with stone, concrete and brick. This industrial-grade disc operates at speeds up to 100 m/s, featuring a specialized Silicon Carbide (GC) bond formulation engineered specifically for masonry and stone cutting applications.
Whether you are cutting concrete slabs, installing stone flooring, or performing demolition, the G-Type wheel provides the aggressive cutting action and extended life needed for superior results.
Why Choose the G-Type (GC) Wheel?
💎 Optimized GC Abrasive Uses premium Green Silicon Carbide (GC) grain, which is harder and sharper than standard aluminum oxide. This makes it perfect for cutting hard, brittle materials like stone, concrete and brick.
⚡ High-Speed Rating (100m/s) Engineered for high-speed petrol engine cutters and electric power saws. Rated at a maximum peripheral speed of 100 m/s (6,000 m/min). Observe the RPM limit marked on the wheel.
💰 Reduced Operational Costs Longer service life decreases replacement frequency. The optimized bond density prevents premature wear even when cutting abrasive materials like concrete blocks.
🏗️ Versatile Application One wheel for multiple jobs: Concrete, bricks, masonry blocks, marble, slate and suitable refractory materials. This GC masonry wheel is not for steel or railway rail cutting.

Speed conversion: 100 m/s equals 6,000 m/min. RPM = 6,000 ÷ (π × diameter in metres). The RPM values above are mathematical conversions, not a substitute for the maximum RPM printed on the wheel. Never exceed the marked wheel limit.
Ideal Applications
The GC Type wheel is essential for construction and renovation scenarios:
Infrastructure: Cutting concrete slabs, curbs, and gutters.
Building Materials: Cutting concrete blocks and stone pieces to size with a compatible machine.
Masonry: Sizing bricks, blocks, and refractory stone for kilns.
Demolition: Rapid cutting of mixed masonry materials.
⚠️ Safety & Operation Tips
Dust Control: Cutting stone and concrete generates silica dust. Use appropriate dust controls and protective equipment according to the worksite requirements and manufacturer instructions. Water use requires approval for both the wheel and the machine; machine compatibility alone does not establish that the wheel can be used wet.
Inspection: Before mounting, check the disc for cracks. A damaged wheel running at 100m/s is extremely dangerous.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this wheel to cut steel?
A: No. This GC wheel is intended for concrete, brick, stone and masonry, not steel or railway rails. Railway cutting requires a dedicated railway rail cut-off wheel and a compatible machine.
Q: Is this for wet or dry cutting?
A: Follow the instructions for the exact wheel and machine. Do not introduce water unless both manufacturers permit it for the intended setup.
Q: What is the benefit of the 4.5mm thickness?
A: The listed wheel thickness is 4.5 mm. Check the machine and workpiece requirements when selecting a disc. Thickness does not permit side grinding or lateral loading.
The FUJI Promise
FUJI's commitment to innovation ensures construction professionals receive tools that meet the highest standards. The G-Type cutting disc represents years of R&D specifically targeting the masonry industry.
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.
