Husqvarna Soff-Cut 2000 Early Entry Saw - Petrol

Soff-Cut technology enables concrete to be cut within the first one or two hours of finishing, and before final set, thereby minimising the risk of random cracking, whilst simplifying working processes, compared to conventional sawing techniques.

As concrete hydrates and begins to set, it develops internal stresses. The objective in controlling shrinkage cracking is to relieve these stresses before they seek their own relief in the form of a random crack.

With the Husqvarna Soff-Cut ultra early entry dry cutting system, joints are sawn in the green zone - within the first hour or two after finishing. The Husqvarna Soff-Cut technology is based on the combination of the Soff-Cut blade and skid plate. The up-cutting rotation of the blade combines with the skid plate, which applies pressure to the surface to prevent chipping and spalling. Soff-Cut is the only system that allows you to cut in the green zone as part of the finishing process, to more effectively control shrinkage cracking. The term soff cut is sometimes referred to as soft cut because of this early stage of the concrete setting.
