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

When you're making first cuts in green concrete and need clean control joints before the slab fully cures, this early entry diamond blade handles the job. The BASIC5000 features a triangle knockout arbor design that fits most early entry saws used on fresh concrete pours. Early entry cutting reduces random cracking by getting joints in within the first few hours after finishing, when the concrete is still workable enough to cut without chipping or spalling. The blade cuts through aggregate cleanly while the concrete is green, giving you straight, controlled joints that guide future cracking exactly where you want it. Built for concrete contractors and flatwork crews who need reliable early entry cutting on commercial slabs, parking lots, and warehouse floors.
