Ultra-Early Entry Blade for Hard Aggregate Concrete

Built to work within the first 0–2 hours after finishing—during the critical Green Zone—this blade helps contractors reduce cracking and deliver smooth, clean control joints on even the toughest surfaces.

Designed to pair seamlessly with Husqvarna’s patented Soff-Cut® early entry saws, this blade delivers exceptional performance, long life, and precise results.

Key Features

Designed for Hard Aggregates
Optimized for medium to ultra-hard concrete mixes and non-abrasive sand, offering top-tier performance without glazing or overheating.

Ultra-Early Entry Performance
Allows cutting 0–2 hours after finishing, before concrete reaches final set—helping prevent stress cracks and rework.

Speed and Longevity
Rated 4/5 for speed and 5/5 for blade life, this blade balances fast cutting with consistent wear resistance.

Patented Skid Plate System
Includes a replaceable anti-ravel skid plate that controls chipping and keeps pressure on the surface for clean joints. Replace with each new blade.

Triangular Safety Arbor
Precision-fit arbor ensures perfect locking on all Husqvarna Soff-Cut® saws, preventing slippage and boosting cut accuracy.

Color-Coded for Simplicity
The Purple code makes it easy to match the blade to hard concrete applications—part of Husqvarna’s intuitive blade system.

Break-In Instructions

Run your saw at half the normal forward speed for the first 100 linear feet. This allows the blade to open properly, stay cool, and reach peak cutting performance for its entire lifespan.
