Soff Cut FLX Thin Ultra-Early Entry Husqvarna Diamond Blade Series

Husqvarna Soff-Cut FLX .080″ Thin Early Entry Diamond Blade

Precision Ultra-Early Entry Cutting for Clean, Narrow Joints

When your concrete project requires precise, narrow joints, the Husqvarna FLX .080″ Thin Soff-Cut Blade delivers unmatched accuracy and performance. As part of Husqvarna’s Ultra-Early Entry Soff-Cut series, this blade is specifically designed for contractors who need thin, aesthetic cuts without compromising durability or surface quality.

Whether you’re working on decorative scoring, overlay prep, or tight-tolerance jointing, this blade ensures your finish is sharp, clean, and controlled.

What Sets the FLX .080″ Thin Blade Apart?

First and foremost, this blade was developed to meet the unique needs of professionals requiring thin kerf cuts as early as 1–2 hours after finishing. Unlike traditional blades, it integrates with Husqvarna’s patented Soff-Cut system, which uses a spring-loaded skid plate and up-cutting rotation to minimize spalling and reduce random cracking.

Moreover, this blade is engineered for use with Husqvarna Soff-Cut 2000, 2500 (10″) and Soff-Cut 4000, 4200 (12″) saws, providing flexible compatibility across job types.

Key Features & Performance Advantages

Ultra-Early Entry Capability
Cut during the Green Zone—0 to 2 hours after finishing—before concrete develops internal stress. This allows for accurate joint placement and crack control.

.080″ Thin Kerf Design
Provides narrow, clean cuts ideal for architectural scoring, decorative concrete, overlays, and polished floors. Thinner joints help maintain the design aesthetic while still relieving structural tension.

Patented Soff-Cut Skid Plate System
Every blade comes with a replaceable skid plate. This feature maintains downward pressure on the surface, eliminating edge chipping and ensuring a smooth joint finish.

Enhanced Blade Stability
The raised hub core on 12″ models adds rigidity, reducing vibration and promoting straighter cuts, especially on longer scoring lines.

Premium Diamond Segments
Constructed with high-quality diamonds and bonding matrix, the blade offers improved durability, even in abrasive or high-heat conditions.

Color-Coded Identification
Quickly match the blade to your concrete type using Husqvarna’s color system—saving time and reducing errors in fast-paced environments.

Blade Break-In Instructions

To ensure optimal performance:

1. Start by running the saw at half of the normal forward speed

2. Continue for approximately 100 linear feet

3. This allows the diamond edge to open up properly, keeping the blade cool and ensuring maximum life and speed

Compatible Equipment

Before installation, always verify your saw’s specifications. Additionally, ensure the belt is loosened before blade changes to prevent damage.

Ideal Applications

• Decorative scoring and architectural jointing

• Early jointing on overlays and toppings

• Commercial flooring and tilt-up wall prep

• Residential concrete slabs with aesthetic finish requirements

• Polished concrete layout cuts

Because of its thin kerf and early entry timing, this blade allows contractors to maintain design intent while delivering functional control joints.

Why Ultra-Early Entry Cutting Matters

Traditional saw cutting often begins after 6–24 hours, but by then, random cracks may already be forming. The Soff-Cut system lets you get ahead of those cracks by allowing clean control joints during the Green Zone—when concrete is still plastic but strong enough to hold shape.

As a result:

• You reduce post-installation issues

• You minimize rework and callbacks

• You improve the overall look and lifespan of the slab
