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

Early entry saw operators cutting green concrete will find this blade handles the demanding work of creating control joints within 1-4 hours of finishing. The triangle knockout arbor design lets you adapt to different saw configurations without switching blades mid-job. BASIC5000 construction delivers consistent performance through residential flatwork, warehouse floors, and parking structures where timing matters. This first-cut diamond blade reduces random cracking by allowing joint cutting before concrete fully cures, when the material is still soft enough to minimize spalling and chipping. The early entry approach means less dust, quieter operation, and shallower cuts compared to conventional sawing methods. Built for concrete finishing crews and flatwork contractors running early entry saws on commercial and residential slabs.
