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

Early entry cutting on fresh concrete demands a blade that can handle green slabs without blowout or chipping. The BASIC5000 features a triangle knockout arbor design that fits multiple early entry saws, letting you make control joints 1-4 hours after pour when the concrete is still workable. Diamond Products engineers this blade specifically for first-cut applications where timing matters and surface quality counts. The early entry design reduces joint spalling and eliminates the need for secondary cleanup cuts that waste time on residential, commercial, and industrial flatwork. Cuts clean through fresh concrete while minimizing aggregate pullout along the joint edges. Built for concrete contractors running early entry walk-behind saws who need reliable joint cutting without callbacks for edge repairs.
