ANDIS OUTLINER | MODIFIED MY WAY *NEW OPEN-SIDE*

Hello Fellow KZbin, Barbers, Stylist, Hairdressers alike. I decided to try something a little different with my Andis Outliner. I modified my outliner with safety and originality in mind. I have seen many people simply cutting/modifying there Andis Outliner / T outliner but I wanted to do something different. I designed my Andis Outliner with a place to rest my thumb. Now my Modified Andis outliner is easy to clean and stays cool without over heating.
This was a spare Outliner.
This is the 1st How to video on modifying the Andis (T-) Outliner : HOW TO VIDEO! In this video I take you step-by-step on how to the SENSIBLE way.
Tools used:
DRILL + (1/16, 3/16 and 1/4 bits)
Dremel (Cutting off wheel, deburr ball, fine sandpaper hoop)
Marker, Needle nose pliers, Deburring tool(Not Necessary)
something to drill on (e.g. Block of wood)
***Safety Glasses

[@laverneminor7139]

the whole purpose of skeletonizing the trimmers is to allow the trimmers to maneuver better around the ear and second for ventilation

[@r.e.9355]

THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO FUCK UP YOUR CLIPPERS.

Raul Esparza are you a barber? Most of these modifications improve performance and ease of maintenance. Yes it will nullify whatever warranty exists, but if you maintain equipment and learn your machines thru and thru, you won't need a warranty.

[@chaibill]

So now drill a hole in the middle so you can adjust the tention with out taking off the top cover.

[@KJF1977]

Bill H i don't think he knows about the tensioner, did you see where his is set?

[@TheWetShavingBarber]

A very intelligent design. The negative reviews are from those who wish they had created this first...

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

@TheExpatStylist I thank you, your kind words are always welcomed. Negative feedback goes a long way, however most of my critics are telling me the truth. I made this video just to prove that it could be done!

[@Macue420]

U dont know for what is that cut man keep trying

[@hanskdavis]

i'll just wait for andis folks to see these modification videos... and update their clippers with this look that includes a fine mesh screen that prevents hair from falling into the housing below.

[@TheHasan187]

Omega Dawg93 They are not going to do it so they don't need to give someone a check if you don't think somebody didn't Patten that your crazy if they already didn't start to manufacture them already

[@erixgarcia5166]

There are some clipers called AUDOC CHECK THEM OUT. THEY DOING WHAT THESE PIMPS DONT DO

[@GarrickWhite]

two of mine are skeleton, and never had any issues as far as safety. The client, myself and the trimmers are doing great and I did mines over a year ago with no issues and better performance and lineups.

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Garrick, I agree with you 100%. Skeletons are fine!

[@CJMajesty]

Great idea I never thought of doing that for the heat. Try using a fixed tool instead of using the vice for the initial cut, like a band saw or table saw. Tape it vertical and cut multiple straight lines across up the vertical tape, cross cut once with the dremel then pry them off. Then use the sand paper or stone attachment on the dremel to clean it up. Dremels love to go wild... Which causes what happened. But if that's all you have, gotta work with what you got! Great job though.

[@raquanford358]

bad idea jus fully take it off your not gonna hurt a client. its never been heard off, if your a professional

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Raquan, I appreciate the comment. Happy Barbering!

[@jabariiwilliams5279]

my thoughts exactly, I have 2 pairs with the heads cut off. his idea is cool too but the they original is not harmful and plus you get a better view because you can see through the clipper

[@FreshyDeff]

Please take the rest of that plastic off. A clean cut across the top should do the trick.

[@VISlXVI]

Facts

[@exposer77]

if i had an extra pair i would try this knowing if i did it wrong there's an back up. i do know those get very annoying after a few minutes when they run hot

[@clrkkdd12]

Thanks. How do you like? I do you mind like that with the Dremel but I cut the whole top off how is it working? I like it, thought I wasn't do I do. I'm not a professional Barber but I'll be my own personal Barber since high school. It felt funny at first not having that extra space to hold on too. I can see alot better 🤔👊🏽 I totally understand your reasoning/ version. Good one

[@cclemoyne4033]

Cool way to ventilate and give access for better cleaning. I agree with Omega Dawg's comment about Andis making a screen, although I think a chrome grill, like a 50's car would be the best design. Thanks for the vid.

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Good point! What is old will be new again, so I can see that trend making its way back around. Cheers! 👍

[@willienle]

This method just helps keeping the trimmer cooler during cuts but not easy to modify your blade tension.

[@stevennguyen8589]

YES...! It"s a GREAT ideas that u modified this way..SAFETY #1..it LOOKS good yet it shows that u put some THOUGHT into your tools ...QUESTION; can modified and SOLVE the HEAT issues on the ANDIS master clipper beside without putting the silicone jacket on it..? Bcuz I like the classic aluminum ! Plz reply thank you..!

[@NAHTYDREDZ]

the reason you cut the whole top off is not just for cooling. it also gives more power with proper adjustment to the tension screw. what you did was real good if you just want to keep trimmers cool. but if you want more Power and cooling then you cut the whole thing. that's why it's done, cooling and easy cleaning are just a plus . THE POWER IS THE REAL REASON.

[@addmoresauce]

Lol I literally used a steak knife to cut the top of the housing off and guess what..... it works just fine! This is O.D.! Power to him but it can be done with way less and less time. Doesn’t effect your skills, nor does it put the client in harms way.

[@ZekeyTv]

This is pretty unique and creative. I'm sure you'll find easier ways to get the same if not better result. I like it tho.

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

ZEKEY 100% correct, I admit during post-editing I came to the same conclusion. I accept real feedback, be it, positive and/or negative. Thanks, your comment made my day!

[@ZekeyTv]

delace1111 keep up the good work sir

[@TRAPPLORENZOSJEWELRY]

How should I disconnect the wiring? I messed up a couple by not removing front from back. Thanx.

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks C.D.J., Disconnecting the wiring to the power switch? You will see the 2 cables (1 red, 1black), Take a cellphone picture of how they are connected and screw and remove the wires. Simply, reverse the procedure to reconnect the wires once your done with the modifications.

[@Toby12695]

Great idea! Also looks really cool in my opinion!

[@entyce66]

Nice design good idea

[@frankrodriguez4628]

I think you did a great job on them, a lot better them some brothers I've seen on other clips!

[@darylrogers6893]

I Think The Ventilation Is Very Necessary For The Andis Liners But I'm Not Feeling The Open Space That Should Be Covered.

[@csjr9]

The only thing i do is drill a hole so that I can reach the tension screw without taking the faceplate off. Drill a hole large enough so that a screwdriver can fit and then sand it smooth. This way you get airflow, tension screw access and still have full housing protection #Simple

[@lesediphilmon6788]

I need this kind of machine but I don't know where to find ....please help me

[@I_S_S_A_]

What are you talking about??? Go to google or eBay & search up 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐬 𝐓-𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫 & Voilà, there you have it. They are right there for sale from a million different places.

[@187almazan]

Just take the top piece completely off. That way you can trim around the mustache and ear

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks, all comments are welcomed and greatly appreciated!

[@tyherr5072]

skeleton is better...if you just put two holes on the sides, it's useless. I'll give you a better idea, if you want coolant, just use drill bits along the sides instead of making that ugly looks. you probably don't know the reason behind the skeleton. so you can go around the ear, you can see better, and easy adjustment. you disagree, I don't care, you can stick with ur ideas but I don't like it..

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks for the comment Ty, I appreciate your feedback. Safety first and happy barbering.

Great idea!!!

[@q.williams2846]

I'll be sticking to the original way it looks cool but it's not going to help was getting around ears. And I personally like mine being cut all the way it gives me the perfect place to rest my finger

[@BeautyofScent]

whats your fav trimmers?

[@djdosado]

I did this worked perfectly thanks!

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Glad to hear that @DJ Dosado 👍🏾 I knew someone would put their own twist on this design. Happy barbering money!

[@joebrown8387]

Looks cool though

[@daventamayes]

I think its a great idea, there's a thousands way to skin a cat, yours is one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@luvgospel6633]

This didn't make much sense to me!

[@evertcomeriii6894]

😂

[@djdosado]

Interesting

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks for the comment DJ. I admit it's a great idea. Boils down to personal taste and preference.

[@killacet]

Why did you do this? Ive no idea why. I thought its only important to modify the blades.

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks for the comment. Again We Modify Our Outliners for 2 Main reasons: Easier Cleaning and Keeping the Machine Cooling during operation. Please contact me if you have any other comments, Thank you.

[@sharpone40]

Why cut any, More power, cooler running. Temp difference, in degrees. power difference very unlikely. Damn sure more hair and oil inside clippers.

[@massonjacobs4496]

holdr up! that's a gtx motor inside a regular t-outliner

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Masson, this is an older Outliner.

[@rutiliocaballero9505]

another reason for removing the top is easy access to the tension screw. you can't with that modification. it looks pretty cool. but it's too much work for a less effective mod..

[@unk-skislaughter4376]

Way too much work

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks for the comment! I'm convinced that it might be a nice challenge for the creative type.

[@mrcanntell]

The other modified andis I believe to be better u get better reach but they still heat up no matter what...Your way seems like is to much work....🤷🏾‍♂️

[@cmoneytheman]

yea he just was bored

[@kwills80]

are u selling it

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Hey Kevin, Selling them? I never thought about selling, Do you think there is a market for this style trimmer?

[@kwills80]

if you doing that and modified the blade.

[@ronnyc8251]

All that work and u still cant adjust the tension arm without taking it apart anyway... SMH

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

👍Thanks for the comment.

[@redblue40rc33]

shouldve hack sawed the whole thing off, for an open bone look...jus sayin

[@SonsOfPromise]

I will pay you to do this for me????

[@prouddaddyofdos]

Risk?! Skillz avoid risk bruh!

[@raiderkendall]

People is so dumb.There is no way it's gonna vent and keep the clippers cool.Blade only gets hot at the top where the blade and cutter blade go back and fourth.All that Holes and shit is useless...You just did all that for nothing.......

[@barbertrini8163]

No good👎

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Thanks for the comment, Check out some of my other videos, Salute!

[@MrElrey1981]

Horrible.......

Thanks for the comment Mr. Elrey! Happy and safe barber and all the best.

[@WiseDaGod777]

*Explain.......Porque???* Or you just gnna TROLL ma nigga? That is *NOT* "Kingish" of u at ALL ma G's! I was thinking this SAME shit! (Not this specific design) but, if the science of modifying the outliners (Skeleton Design) is for increased AIR FLOW & easier access to clean! *THEN.....* the 1st thing came to mind is INTSEAD if chopping the WHOLE shit off & "convertablizing" it WHY NOT just open some holes in it? I seen the thumbnail for this video & said ah HAHH homie is a CREATIVE!!! That shit is DOPE!!! I didn't even THINK about the part that you have NOWHERE to place your certain *fingers* when you Chop Top the whole roof of the joint! So....... **********************BOTTOM LINE************************** This nigga is a *"CREATIVE"* & he is "Intelligent/Sharp" af! So in response to that fact ALL you can do is say some GOOFY ass shit like: *"Horrible"???* WTF ma nigga??? *TRANQUILO*

[@kenadiid4]

Too much work

[@reeroctv]

Talk to much 😂Nd minds we’ll just took the whole thing off
