Adjusting Andis T-Outliner Armiture For Precise Haircuts | Maximize Power and Performance

[@AaronThompkins]

Maaaaan! I've been looking all over KZbin and the Internet for this fix! Thank you for being straight forward and getting right into the fix too! I'm now a subscriber!

[@brizy208]

bro aint gonna lie, I was just about to throw my Andis in the garbage until I scroll through here and found your video and it helps so much now my machine is cutting brand new...thank you so much for making this video...

[@DynamoDeniro]

I have to break out the Denzel voice for this one ... "My Man!!" This video finally has my trimmers working the way they should be. I've had 5 sets of trimmers throughout my life. EIther they wouldn't cut close or they would cut too close or one side would be too sharp while the other was dull. I would take the trimmers apart and adjust the blades over and over and I would encounter the same problems. I saw your video and did what you said. I then preceded to give myself the best tape up I've ever had, including barbershops. They worked just as you said and how I Knew they should, with minimal effort. I had resorted to razors but now I can finally rely on my trimmers thanks to you. Thanks for the video!

[@AdrinTheBarber]

+DynamoDeniro Im glad that I could help you get them working correctly! Any questions you have let me know!

[@CruiserzProductions]

I know the feeling bro, I had to learn how to do it myself but i've just learned about the power screw, I thought it had to be tigtened to the brink lol

[@nathannevaeh2323]

ADTheBarber how do you adjust the arm if my hitters don't have the two black screws??

[@RDTSMOOTH]

Do you adjust clippers? If so how much and can I mail it?

[@Crappie_Day]

Yeaaa now you hooking people up reaaal good. Just don't start hitting up your eyebrows with it haha

[@rmm969]

Suggestion. Use a feeler gauge in determining your optimum gap between the armature and the coil base. That way, when you have already determined your optimum gap (minimum noise and max cutting power), then when it's time you have to re-adjust your armature gap again, you already have your baseline/optimum distance as basis using a feeler gauge to set the proper gap fast and accurate. Hope this helps.

[@victorcarr8055]

If you get the measurement for feeler gauge please post that'd be great

[@Br12141]

the two screws that you have to remove on the inside first . mine are more of a circular looking screw inside of two black screws , i can't figure out how to take it off

[@chiefxx5250]

any chance you can share info on this? I got the same kind

[@avingriffin1954]

Man you got me on my toes today and I love it here

[@dandedering4487]

Thank You! for your posts. The last couple months I've been fighting with my T-Outliner thinking it was blade alignment..nope..had that correct and down over the years of using it almost bought ne blades. DING DING my friend! Blade tension setting. Got that good! buzz back after watching and resetting. Thanks Again! Good Vids and only had to watch 2 both yours.

[@louiegarza9689]

Oh ok yea you know what it wasnt the Wahl i meant the Andis Slimline pro. I keep hearing great things about them. I just got them confused cuz they look similar but out of all the cordless trimmers ive seen or heard of the most common one ive been hearing about that everyone seems to like is the Andis Slimline Pro. Thanks for the help AD if you do end up piking one up please do a review im have a few questions like on run time, if they get hot quik and how loud they are.. Dunno if ill zerogap them cuz i wanted them mainly for kids but might just have to get 2 pairs to adjust to get that crisp line. Thank you for these vids really heping us aALL out

[@JayOnyx0211]

i dont have the model with the screws :(((( please help

[@JoseGarcia-ki4hn]

???

[@EFdee9]

@@JoseGarcia-ki4hn there's a model that comes with two rivets, they usually are black or silver, i have the same one

[@marc5578]

My new T outliner only has a center nut on the arm... the screws /attachments on either side are there but can’t be loosened anymore.

[@louiegarza9689]

Oh no they arent the Wahls that i hear a lot about they are the Andis Slimline Pros that i hear a lot of people like. I got confused cuz i found a cordless Wahl trimmer that looks almost identical to the Slimline Pros n i get confused easily now after my brain surgury.Thanks for responding n for the vid on how to quiet down my t-outliners. I cant wait to fix them when i get back home from this trip. Keep up the good work man 👍🏽

[@broadwaybarbershopjonmerin9248]

the wahls r better anyway

[@louiegarza9689]

Thanks AD!! Im so glad that you did both the new and older t-outliner! The one that was giving me problems is the one i got from barber school 12 yrs ago so it helps that you did both. I appreciate you takin the time to make these vids to help us all out. Now im just looking into getting some battery powered clippers incase of a major blackout . Bout 3 years ago here in SD we had a major blackout that lasted almost 2 days n just so happened to be that i was just starting a HIGH skin taper wen the power shut off haha. Poor guy. But anyway thank you for this vid deffinately is gon help me fix my clipps wen i get home. Oh last thing- im most likely gon get either the cordless designers or the magic clips. But need a cordless trimer n most likely get the lithium ion by Wahl. Do you know if those can be adjusted? Not looking for a zero gap cus i wanna b able ta use them ine kids n itd just be safer but wud like to see if i can get them to cut a lil closer although i havent even used them

[@AdrinTheBarber]

+Louie Garza I really dont have to much knowledge on the cordless clippers since ive never really used them much. But after your experience you have me wanting to go and purchase some just to be on the safe side. But i do plan on reviewing cordless clippers in the future. Sorry

[@louiegarza9689]

+ADTheBarber Thanks!! Yea im just looking ta get a pair of pro cordless outliners. If you see or hear of any good ones please lemmee know :). Only ones i been hearing about lately are the Wahl lithium ions but dunno if they can be adjusted n i dunno how long they run off a single charge.Thanks for takin the time to respond. I deffinately appreciate it. Keep up the good work i was actually just watching another vid you posted on some other cordless clippers that wer kinda like the Oster 76s i think... Thanks AD

[@Deancutit]

+Louie Garza get the cordless magic clip and the slim line pro,great cordless combo

[@louiegarza9689]

+Donnie Dean thanks! Yea i just did actually.... I got a pair of the cordless magic clips and the slimline pro li's they work great! Love them already

[@bromovich8058]

Great video...I am trying to decide amongst the following machines: 1. Andis T-Outliner 2. Andis Outliner II 3. Andis GTX Can the T-Outliner blade be used on the Outliner II? What is the difference between the Outliner II and the T-Outliner? Is the GTX the best? Which one should I buy to give me the sharpest cut? Any advice?

[@StevenSoto]

I just got the Gtx today it is good

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

Mark Bromley the only difference between the outliner and the outliner 2 is the blade...( outliner 2 has narrower blade not a t blade) the only difference between the t outliner and the gtx is the color and the teeth on the blade

[@willdamian1066]

Do the flathead screws by the blade serve a purpose? Or the two screws for the housing? I adjusted mine and ever since I feel like they don’t hit the same especially when balding

[@yeayea2499]

+adthebarber yooo bro, I went to try this and my trimmers don't have the Philips or star screw! it looks like a rivet! any suggestions

[@ricardojorge9063]

Hi,I have a problem. Instead you have the two black screws, I have two rivets.. The machine is noisy and I cant correct it because it has rivets.. What do you suggest I do?

[@BelieverBarber]

Awesome video. Necessary information for a barber who wants the best out of his tools

[@AdrinTheBarber]

+CleanCutz Thanks! All about helping everyone succeed!

[@ivanrivas3464]

I have a black t outliner and it has no black screws it just has 2 flat headed metal circles that you can't unscrew? The middle one to adjust the arm is still similar but why is mine different? Please respond as fast as you can...

[@AdrinTheBarber]

I will have to open mine and see, I think i know what you mean

[@ivanrivas3464]

+ADTheBarber thank you

[@ogrewease]

+ADTheBarber yea I got the same two rivets also. is there anyway to adjust them with those in place? and anyway one can tell how to not buy the ones with rivets?

[@StevenSoto]

yea my gtx is just like that idk how to adjust those

[@jcuts831]

Same problem is there anyway to adjust it ?

[@magic7207]

The cordless wahl magic clip is a beast. I can knock out 4 to 5 heads with it before t slows down, but so far it's never ran out in me.

[@AdrinTheBarber]

+magic7207 Yes thats great Ill definantly have to try it!

[@JmeNic1125]

Any thoughts on those rivets yet? Mine has them as well. The arm seems off in comparison to this video, but not sure how to fix it. It makes me feel like I should return it.

[@409ejg]

thanks for the video. i just adjusted my clippers and they work great! If you encounter clattering after adjusting, try loosening nut again, push up on the arm from where the triangle piece is where the screws go. lock the nut then put the two screws back on.

[@biscuitmufflers2351]

Good job man. Saved my clippers

[@CLifemusic]

Hey,bro I opened up my t outlines to clean them and in the process a part that look like a metal oval shape with a stem on it lol,I watched this video because you opened them up.i didn't see the piece..aby suggestions?

[@BeautyofScent]

How do I adjust the armature on the new outliners? The old outliners had phillips head screws, and the new outliners looks like they have flush/rivets screws.

[@charlzg880]

Question bruh i opened mines just to take a look but in both your t-trims there were crews in mine though they have bolts & there's no way to take them out without breaking them so is my shit a knock off bootleg or what they still get the job done & I wish I could say I didn't feel shitted on

[@FaLauren]

bro you have a newer model.. they took the screws out of the newer ones so they cant be adjusted

[@willybeamon]

I have a set an the armature is actually touching the motor. It has really no room to play with as far as moving over. When I move over an it's not touching the motor then it's so far off that the blade is out of line with the tension arm. What could be the problem

[@OranteFrazier]

I was just about to to ask how to fix that noise, thanks.

[@joecool97]

On the Motor Assembly why does the red cord break off on the grey side? You can get a New Andis Motor.

[@ItsBFrizzy]

Is this considered over tuning the clipper or no

[@kingwesley8975]

Mine don't have the two black screws. They have some sort of pins in the space

[@keithhines5319]

Tried this and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@capcityorgnzr]

I purchased a new shell, installed all the pieces & it operates. I need some fine tuning, but can’t figure it out. I’m local to DC, any suggestions on where I can bring it to have it tuned?

[@BIGNORM1031]

What u do to make straight lines ? When I shape up a client hair line? Or zero gap it on the T outliners.

[@VSTUDIOSWORLDWIDE]

My bolts are flat? like with no grove for a phillips, it just has the hexagon screw in the middle, I got that out, but how do I take the other two out? it won't move and I don't want to mess it up, and I can't find a video to help, thanks if yall reply before I can figure it out

[@mystickid1]

Great tutorial Adrin! This was just what i need to see. My blades are off to the left. Thank you !

[@darelldlomax7078]

Thanks definitely help my liners were dead before this video...🙏🏽

[@barberlivegammysshop4553]

How you put the piece [on and off] back cus now i can make again..😔 color vino

[@eliezerbrito301]

hey on andis clippers,can you use any blade it dont have to be the t-outliner,can you just swap them out,with a different blade?

[@B.G.Bandit]

What would cause the blade to no move at all? It’s as if the guard blade is pressed too tight and won’t allow movement. But if I adjust the tension any less the blades fall off. It’s driving me crazy. Any idea?

[@jaymeez]

I got a pair of masters that stopped working. I plugged em in & they made loud clanging then stopped. Now they don't even power on. Any ideas? You think moving this arm could help in any way?

[@jayfray3339]

what is the purpose of the top 2 screws in the motor under the blade used for?

[@hebermanuelgonzalezhernand3633]

Mi andis gtx t outliner aveces muerde el cabello y llega a arrancarlos, es nueva y no se si sea la cuchilla.

[@kennymcg4894]

My andis m3 styliner is super loud. Doesn't matter how much I play with that screw it didn't quiet it. It pushes the cutting blade to one side and stops it from moving. How can I fix this?

[@ericmuhammad1371]

Mines don't have neither of those screws, they are flat on the top how do I get them out?

[@belafonte5519]

Good video How do you adjust for 220 voltage

[@chefl6681]

Man I've always wondered why my blades kept cutting uneven I went through 3-4 outliners thinking mines was defects well I had the same problem with my current one but now I'm gonna fix it

[@419kingz]

What does having the silver plate unscrewed do? I see you don't have those on your liners.

[@Spree1775]

My Andis maintains two studs oppose two black screws. Thus I'm unable to reposition the arm.

[@gernarogrant2470]

does the the two cover screws affect operation of the blades?

[@HeIsHired]

Can you do a tutorial on adjusting Andis masters so that they don't rattle as much, and are quiet?

[@abibodlogistics]

In this video I hear you saying one is old model and the other a new model and they both have armature plates with screws, the older one tightened with Phillip screws and the newer one with star screws,honestly I don't know which planet where mine is manufactured although it says Andis on it and it looks exactly the same like these two here because they have the same power switch but unfortunately the armature plate is riveted down so there is nothing that I can do to adjust the armature should anything goes wrong with it. The model number is Andis T Outliner Trimmer Gray Model GTO 04710. I just hope that it is manufactured in planet earth .

[@fr3sh89]

Mine doesn't have screws it's pressed in just flat.what do I do

[@stetsonsimons4994]

Great video! Knowledge is power!

[@supadupa6891]

So the factory off position is fixed to the left side. And the goal is to make the new off position fixed to the center.

[@dominickalo6803]

supa dupa I just got a pair a few days ago, it was set to the left side as well, so does that mean it's off?

[@supadupa6891]

dominick alo...... No. Thats the natural factory setting. Out the box, its to the left.

[@dominickalo6803]

supa dupa oh ok, so is it wise to set it in the center, like what's going on in this video?

[@chinito20fam]

Mine is totally different the screw you have mine came with no screws or heads it's rather round.. the only thing it does have is the center screw

[@reginaldjones7281]

It goes in the slot where the thick piece from the power cord goes.. It's to hang the trimmers

[@mmoore2594]

Need an energy converter same thing happen when I went to Argentina

[@CruiserzProductions]

You might need a transformer also, I don't know though. I live in UK you see and thats how we bypass the loud ear deffening noise down here

joecool97 try using a socket but it shouldn't break it. That nut attaches the motor to the back shell that and the black one over it with the hole in the center

[@joecool97]

Dude this was so helpful. Thank you very much.

[@TJones281]

6.5mm socket and ratchet works best for that bolt

[@StevenSoto]

I have the new gtx and the blade is too far left when off

[@jasondookie1900]

when these outliners overheat, is it because this process isnt done?

[@illestofdemall13]

+Jason Dookie No, they overheat because of normal friction and any electronic device gives off some sort of heat, especially a magnetic motor.

[@jasondookie1900]

+Kris Klekosky oh ok. thx man

[@illestofdemall13]

No problem

[@devinx5852]

the way i keep mine from over heating is i take frequent breaks while cutting turn the clippers off while looking at the clients head and i take about 5 minutes after each cut and spray with andis spray may not seem like it but almost never overheat

[@emaaadelgado]

works it in the same way for the andis gtx?

[@emaaadelgado]

great video btw!

[@jaykob2482]

Another one!☝Very informative vid that is, lol. QUESTION: Hey AD, how do you feel about the Andis GTX in comparison to the Andis T-Outliner? Keep up the good work.

[@TheDaddynate]

+jaykob - Same clipper, save 20-30 bucks and get a the T-outliner and replace the blade with a promate GTX blade keep the stock blade for backup. Only difference is the blade on the GTX is better

[@jaykob2482]

+Nate TheDaddy Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it!

[@TheDaddynate]

***** - You can get those blades for 14-18 bucks. Beauty supply close to me sells them for 15 bucks

[@jaykob2482]

Nate TheDaddy Good lookin out bro. I also heard someome else claim that the gtx is more powerful because it has a grounded plug or something like that. Although that doesn't make much sense because that's not the purpose of a plug with a ground. Amongst other things I've also heard that it runs cooler. What you said makes the most sense though.

[@sharpone40]

I made a gauge to set the armature, no fuss, set it correct ervry time.
