Blade Break-in Instruction
Operate saw at half of the normal forward speed for approximately 100 lineal feet. This will allow the blade to open up so that the blade will remain cool cut faster and promote full blade life.
The Soff-Cut System
Soff-Cut is the only Ultra Early Entry dry-cutting system which controls random cracking. This cutting technology is based on the up-cutting rotation of the Soff-Cut blade and spring loaded skid plate. The blade and skid plate along with the patented blade block keeps pressure applied at the surface, which prevents chipping and spalling, ensuring a smooth cut.
The Green Zone
The Green Zone is the window of opportunity to place control joints as soon as 0-2 hours after finishing and before final set, depending on weather conditions. The blades and saw system work most efficiently when used in the Green Zone; damage to the blade and saw can occur if cutting is performed when concrete is too cured.
Diamond Blades
Our patented diamond blades are color coded and feature a unique triangular shaped safety arbor that fits precisely on the saw arbor. Each blade is designed to work specifically with the Soff-Cut system, the only true patented Ultra Early Entry system. Use of after market brands of blades, with imitator arbors, can damage your saw and lead to poor quality of the cut. A patented anti-ravel skid plate comes with each blade.
What is the Soff Cut FLX Red Series Husqvarna Diamond Blade 3000?
The Soff Cut FLX Red Series Husqvarna Diamond Blade 3000 is part of Husqvarna’s renowned FLX series, specifically engineered for ultra-early entry cutting.
This blade is designed for use with the Husqvarna Soff-Cut saw system, which allows contractors to cut control joints just 1–2 hours after finishing concrete, while the surface is still green.
The “Red Series” designation tells professionals that this blade is optimized for harder aggregates and medium-to-high compressive strength concrete.
Whether you’re working on commercial floors, industrial slabs, or high-spec decorative concrete, the FLX Red Series ensures precise cuts and superior durability.
Why Early Entry Cutting Matters
Concrete naturally shrinks as it cures. Without control joints, this shrinkage can cause random cracking, which weakens the slab and diminishes its appearance.
The solution? Cut control joints early — before these cracks appear.
The Soff Cut system, paired with blades like the FLX Red Series Husqvarna Diamond Blade 3000, allows contractors to cut concrete safely and effectively within the critical green zone.
By cutting early, you can:
-
Reduce random cracking
-
Improve slab aesthetics
-
Lower repair and maintenance costs
That’s why many professionals insist on having the Soff Cut FLX Red Series Husqvarna Diamond Blade 3000 in their toolbox.
How Does the Soff Cut FLX Red Series Blade Work?
The blade works in harmony with Husqvarna’s patented Soff Cut system, which includes:
✅ A skid plate that gently holds the concrete surface to prevent spalling
✅ Specially designed early-entry diamond blades
✅ Lightweight saws like the Soff-Cut 150 or 4000, engineered for green concrete
The FLX Red Series blade features:
-
A segmented diamond rim
-
High-quality diamond concentration
-
Bonding optimized for cutting harder concrete
This combination allows the blade to slice through fresh concrete cleanly, creating crisp, spall-free control joints.

Choosing the Right Soff Cut Blade: Why the Red Series?
Husqvarna’s FLX series is color-coded to match blade performance to concrete hardness and aggregate type:
-
Purple or red blades: Best for harder concrete or cooler temperatures
-
Green, orange, or yellow blades: Better for softer concrete or hotter conditions
The FLX Red Series is specifically formulated for:
✅ Medium-to-high compressive strength concrete
✅ Harder aggregate mixes commonly found in commercial and industrial projects
Using the correct blade ensures cleaner cuts, less spalling, and optimal blade life.
Tips for Maximizing Blade Performance
-
Inspect before use: Check the blade for cracks or wear.
-
Use genuine Soff Cut skid plates: These prevent chipping along the joint.
-
Cut in the green zone: Start cutting 1–2 hours after finishing when the surface supports the saw but is still soft inside.
-
Monitor cutting speed: Avoid forcing the blade; let it do the work.
-
Match the blade to the concrete: Hard concrete? Use the FLX Red Series.
These small steps protect your blade investment and keep your projects on track.
