Blade, 88 Lb., Honda GX120","description":"\u003cp\u003eRandom cracking is what happens when control joints go in too late. A conventional wet saw cannot touch a slab until it has cured enough to take the weight and the water — by which time the slab has often already told you where it wanted to crack. An \u003cstrong\u003eearly entry saw\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts \u003cstrong\u003ewithin roughly two hours of finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e, dry, on a slab that is still green, and puts the joint where you want it instead of where the concrete chooses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BTCS06EE is built around that job and nothing else. It weighs \u003cstrong\u003e40 kg — 88 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is light enough to lift onto a fresh slab without marking it, and it rides on \u003cstrong\u003enon-marking polyurethane wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e for the same reason. It takes a \u003cstrong\u003e165 mm (6.5 in.) blade\u003c\/strong\u003e and cuts \u003cstrong\u003e30 mm (1.18 in.) deep\u003c\/strong\u003e — the shallow, early cut that relieves stress before it becomes a crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a \u003cstrong\u003edry-cut\u003c\/strong\u003e machine, so there is no water to manage on a green slab and no slurry to clean up afterwards. Dust is handled by an \u003cstrong\u003eenclosed blade cover\u003c\/strong\u003e that keeps diffusion down, and the cover takes an \u003cstrong\u003eoptional vacuum port\u003c\/strong\u003e if you need to run to an extractor for indoor or spec work. Depth is set manually with a clear indicator, and the handle folds for transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuts within about two hours of finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e — joints go where you planned them, not where the slab cracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e88 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e — light enough to place on green concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-marking polyurethane wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e — no tyre marks on a fresh slab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e — no water on green concrete, no slurry to clean up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosed blade cover\u003c\/strong\u003e reduces dust diffusion, with an \u003cstrong\u003eoptional vacuum port\u003c\/strong\u003e for extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e165 mm (6.5 in.) blade, 30 mm (1.18 in.) cut depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHonda GX120\u003c\/strong\u003e, 2.5 kW \/ 3.5 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoldable handle\u003c\/strong\u003e for transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBTCS06EE (distributors also list it as BTCS006EE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeton Trowel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarly entry (green concrete) saw, dry cutting, push\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda GX120, 4-stroke gasoline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 kW \/ 3.5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 in.
