First-Cut, Early Entry Diamond Blade w/ Triangle Knockout - BASIC5000

Early entry saw operators cutting control joints in fresh concrete will find this blade delivers the clean cuts needed during that narrow window after finishing. The triangle knockout arbor configuration provides secure mounting on compatible early entry saws while the BASIC5000 designation indicates a dependable diamond segment formulation for green concrete applications. This first-cut blade handles the abrasive nature of concrete that hasn't fully cured, letting you place joints within two to twelve hours of finishing when the slab is hard enough to resist tearing but soft enough to minimize random cracking. The diamond matrix cuts through aggregate and paste efficiently during this critical timing phase. Built for concrete contractors and flatwork crews running early entry joint cutting operations on commercial floors, parking structures, and industrial slabs.
