Why Contractors Choose the Soff-Cut 2000
Optimal Crack Control
Cutting control joints early, while the concrete is still green, ensures shrinkage relief in engineered locations—not through random cracking. This is a streamlined, preventive approach that simplifies the finishing process.
High Production Efficiency
Ideal for medium to heavy-duty commercial, industrial, and paving projects, this saw enables simultaneous use of multiple blade widths for tailored joint widths and superior crack control strategy.
Enhanced Durability & Reduced Maintenance
The combination of rugged structural design, superior engine filtration, and advanced cooling ensures longevity and consistent performance even under demanding jobsite conditions.
Cleaner Jobsite & Operator Safety
Enclosed blade design and dust containment systems help protect operators and create a safer, more controlled working environment—progressing toward compliance with stricter regulations like OSHA silica standards.
Operator-Friendly Features
Remote start, liftable frame, and tool-less blade depth control simplify operation and save time—especially critical when working against concrete drying timelines.
