Husqvarna Excel 1000 Purple Diamond Blade

The Excel 1000 Purple Blade cuts medium-hard to ultra-hard concrete, allowing contractors to cut with precision, speed and confidence.

Thanks to timing, this blade works in the Green Zone (0–2 hours after finishing), helping you reduce cracks and create clean joints.

The blade also works best with Husqvarna Soff-Cut saws to provide contractors with longer blade life, smoother performance and more consistent cutting.

Key Features

Made for Hard Aggregates

Perfect for medium to ultra-hard aggregates and non-abrasive sand, this blade cuts without glazing and overheating.

Ultra-Early Entry Capability

Cut concrete 0–2 hours after finishing to limit stress cracks and the need for rework.

Offers Balance of Speed and Life

A blade speed rating of 4/5 and a life rating of 5/5 help contractors balance productivity with durability.

Patented Skid Plate System

The blade comes with a replaceable skid plate, which applies surface pressure and helps form clean, sharp control joints.

Triangular Safety Arbor

The safety arbor is custom-designed to lock into Soff-Cut saws for accurate cutting without slippage or wobble.

Easy Identification

Identify this blade for hard applications with the Purple label.

Break-In Instructions

Run saw at half speed for first 100 linear feet. This opens diamonds, cools the blade and extends blade life.

The Soff-Cut Advantage

With the Husqvarna Soff-Cut cutting system, up-cutting rotation, a spring skid plate and a blade block lead to better cutting performance. Contractors get cleaner joints, less edge chipping and less random cracking compared to standard early-entry blades. Cutting early in the Green Zone also helps maintain slab integrity and surface appearance for long-term durability.

Applications

Use this blade for:

Commercial and industrial concrete floors

Parking structures and decks

Residential driveways with hard aggregates

Decorative scoring and stamped concrete joints
