What does Soff cut mean?

for ultra-early sawing of concrete joints. Soff-Cut is a system developed for ultra-early sawing of contraction joints after pouring concrete slabs. It’s the optimal solution for minimising the risk of random cracking, which is one of the most costly and aggravating problems faced when laying a large concrete slab.

What blade is best for cutting trim?

Why Use a Fine Finish Blade? To achieve the smoothest miter saw cuts for furniture building, cabinetmaking, and trim work, you need a blade with a lot of teeth. A stock 12-inch blade typically has 32 teeth. A good trim blade commonly has 80.

What can carbide blades cut?

Carbide-tipped blades for portable circular saws are generally of the all-purpose variety, suitable for cutting all kinds of wood, including plywood and particleboard as well as hardboard, wallboard and plastics. In general, the more teeth a blade has, the smoother it will cut.

What does a friction blade cut?

How does the Soff cut blade work for concrete?

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® allows you to cut in the Green Zone™ as part of the finishing process, to effectively control shrinkage cracking 1.

How does a soff cut saw work in the Green Zone?

To optimise cutting in the green zone, Soff-Cut® saws are equipped with a blade block, an anti-ravel skid plate and a Soff-Cut® diamond blade. This combination distinguishes the Ultra Early Entry™ system from other ­early-entry saws. The skid plate easily attaches to the two spring-loaded pistons at the bottom of the blade block. 5.

How does the Soff cut system control cracking?

The Soff-Cut® system is the optimal way to control random cracking, by cutting control joints as part of the finishing process, within the green zone. With Ultra Early Entry™ cutting you can control cracking in slabs up to 9 inches thick, with only a 1-inch minimum depth.
