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

Early entry saw operators cutting fresh concrete will get clean, chip-free joints with this First-Cut diamond blade from Diamond Products. The BASIC5000 features a triangle knockout arbor design that adapts to multiple early entry saw models without requiring additional hardware. This blade cuts green concrete within 1-4 hours after finishing, preventing random cracking by creating controlled joints before internal stresses develop. The diamond segment configuration handles the abrasive paste of uncured concrete while maintaining straight tracking through the cut. Early entry cutting reduces joint depth requirements compared to conventional sawing, saving time on residential slabs, warehouse floors, and commercial flatwork. Built for concrete contractors running early entry saws on same-day pour schedules.
