Features
- Segment height 0.3"
- Segment base 0.06"
- Segment length 1.57"
- Designed to work specifically with the Soff-Cut system, the only true patented Ultra Early Entry system
- A patented anti-ravel skid plate comes with every blade to allow for same day cutting without chipping or spalling
- Soff-Cut blades are specially designed to cut in the Green Zone - as concrete hydrates and begins to set, it develops internal stresses
- The objective in controlling cracking is to relieve these stresses before they seek their own relief in the form of a random crack
- The Green Zone is the window of opportunity to place control joints that begins as soon as 0-2 hours after finishing
- Cutting in the Green Zone is the best guarantee for the prevention of random cracking
- Allows for same day cutting as well as cutting dry with dust control
- More aggregate interlock and less joint filler due to a shallower cut are also achieved when cutting in the Green Zone
Soff-Cut 5" Excel 5000 X50 Yellow Early Entry Blade – The Gold Standard for Ultra-Early Concrete Cutting
When timing matters most and your project demands precision cutting in green concrete, there’s one blade trusted by contractors worldwide: the Soff-Cut 5" Excel 5000 X50 Yellow Early Entry Blade by Husqvarna.
Engineered specifically for ultra-early entry concrete cutting, this blade combines speed, accuracy, and durability to help professionals deliver crack-free, smooth joints—without delay. Whether you’re working on commercial slabs, residential driveways, or decorative concrete, the Excel 5000 X50 Yellow blade keeps your projects on schedule and your results professional.
What Makes the Soff-Cut 5" Excel 5000 X50 Yellow Early Entry Blade Stand Out?
The Excel 5000 series from Husqvarna represents the pinnacle of ultra-early entry diamond blade design. The 5-inch X50 Yellow blade is color-coded to help contractors quickly choose the best blade for medium to hard aggregate or moderate abrasive concrete.
Here’s why this blade is a contractor’s favorite:
-
✅ Ultra-early entry capability: Begin cutting 1–2 hours after finishing, dramatically reducing random cracking.
-
✅ Thin kerf precision: Create clean, narrow control joints that protect slab integrity and improve aesthetics.
-
✅ Durable diamond segments: Longer blade life means fewer blade changes and lower long-term cost.
-
✅ Patented Soff-Cut skid plate system: Keeps the joint clean and helps reduce spalling.

These details are what separate the Soff-Cut 5" Excel 5000 X50 Yellow Early Entry Blade from standard diamond blades, making it essential for concrete contractors focused on quality.
Designed for Contractors Who Demand Results
Whether you’re pouring a small residential driveway or a large commercial floor, timing is critical. Traditional cutting requires waiting until the concrete hardens for 6–24+ hours, which can leave your slab vulnerable to random cracking.
By contrast, the Soff-Cut 5" Excel 5000 X50 Yellow Early Entry Blade:
✅ Allows you to cut during the critical early shrinkage phase.
✅ Helps direct where cracks happen—so they stay hidden in control joints.
✅ Protects your investment in labor and materials.
Why Ultra-Early Entry Cutting Is the Modern Standard
Concrete naturally shrinks as it dries and cures. If the stress isn’t controlled, unsightly cracks can appear anywhere across the slab.
Ultra-early entry cutting solves this by:
-
Cutting control joints when concrete is still green but strong enough to hold shape.
-
Relieving internal stresses before they create random cracks.
-
Making cuts cleaner and reducing edge spalling.
The Soff-Cut 5" Excel 5000 X50 Yellow Early Entry Blade is built specifically for this method, giving you more control over quality and appearance.
The Soff-Cut System: Complete Cutting Solution
Pairing the Excel 5000 X50 Yellow blade with a Husqvarna Soff-Cut saw creates a fully integrated cutting system:
-
Blade: Engineered for speed and durability.
-
Skid plate: Guides the blade while protecting the concrete surface.
-
Saw: Lightweight, maneuverable, and built for ultra-early entry cutting.
This synergy ensures smooth, professional cuts every time.
Why Color Coding Matters
Husqvarna makes choosing the right blade easier with their color-coded Excel system.

By selecting the right blade for your mix, you:
-
Optimize blade life.
