CARDINAL Early Entry Saws and unique Green Sawing Technique

CARDINAL is innovator of the industry’s original early entry saw for cutting uncured
green concrete
CARDINAL developed the world’s first Green Machine Early Entry saw.
And, continuing this tradition of innovation, CARDINAL has developed
an early entry saw to handle any size job, indoors or outdoors.
The CARDINAL GM 450 Green Machine The original light weight, available with a 4 ½ HP gas engine or a
1 ½ HP electric motor, delivers an immediate boost to your bottom line:
• Equipped with patented FlatTrac wheels which permit the cutting
operation to proceed within one to two hours after the finishing process is
completed…your time on-the-jobsite is minimized
• Has a low price tag yet outperforms more expensive Soff-Cut™ saws
• Uses the lowest cost, fastest cutting CARDINAL DIAMOND Blades
• Does not require expensive skid plates that can scratch and damage concrete
surfaces and need to be replaced with every blade.
CARDINAL Bigfoot™ Early Entry Saw Boasting a powerful 22 HP engine is the ideal early
entry saw for those really big jobs:
• Amazingly operator friendly despite its size
• Achieves a cutting depth up to 4” for the life of the
blade
• Infinitely-variable self-propelled operation
• Dust vacuum attachment that requires no
modifications
• Patented servo-controlled Bigfoot™ tracks eliminates
surface scratching
• Fitted for CARDINAL quality diamond blades for
optimum life and speed of cut
• Hydraulic motors for blade and drive wheels transfer
maximum horsepower where it's needed – not
wasted overcoming skid plate drag
• Hydraulic operations eliminate V-Belts, which need
replacement and can fail when you can least afford it
