Best Clipper Blade Sharpening Techniques

[@kreech68]

I've been watching videos on sharpening clippers - and I was unimpressed... until I found your channel - the amount of information and technique in this video is great - thank you! I'll check out your others!

[@pichieandboy7816]

Thank you. And I want to tell you, I have watched this particular video over and over and I am still on it. Thank you, I am from Ghana, West Africa. I am grateful to your team . Keep it up .

[@caldonsharpening9643]

I did't know that changing the pressure can change the hollow ground....! Thanks for the knowledge

[@caldonsharpening9643]

Great tips on the wide blades, never could get them to cut on the ends. Will give this a shot!

[@user-tx2nv1rb9k]

Thank you Brandon! Very nice and helpful videos!

[@nansee1624]

Very informative for professional clippers sharpeners or those who aspire to be, not so much for the residential or home body looking to sharpen their blades

Hello friend Which taper disc?

[@rolandkonrad3632]

Thank you 👏❤️Love your videos. I watched it and watched id whole night. so perfect for me and my problem plades and my business . Cleaning the burr only from the top site? not from the oposit site?

[@megarider]

Hello edge pro. do you have a video illustration for rounding sharp tip blades after sharpening

[@TheEdgePro]

Hi Megarider. I do not believe we have a video illustrating this but we simply rock the tips back and forth on a 600 grit or 30 micron (very fine) sandpaper.

[@FullDottle]

@@TheEdgePro Can you elaborate? Are you saying you "ramp" the blades? Also, can you use a fine DMT plate? Also also, is this rocking done on both comb blade and cutter?

[@TheEdgePro]

@@FullDottle Can you give us a time stamp of where in the video you are referring to so we can help answer your question as quickly as possible?

[@michaelmain8719]

That sharper is amazing where are they available ? Your videos are very informative

[@sharpen-up]

For the arco blades, using a DMT diamond plate to knock the burr back instead of kissing the plate, would you recommend the red (600 grit)?

[@TheEdgePro]

Hi Scott! Yes the 600 is fine. You don't want to put extra pressure from the weight of the hand. Its job is to help break the burr, not remove metal from the surface that we just created.

[@mekypompoo2671]

Please I want to know how the surface of the disc for sharpening blades is hollowed out on the lathe?

[@SharpObserver1A]

If the disc hollows the blade then the disc is CONVEX. The opposite of hollow. and this guy is saying the disc is convex in the middle only!!!

which magnet is that? I am trying to sharpen 2 hole wahl mc2 clippers

Can i sharpen on a flat surface like whetstone/sandpaper?

[@paulr5027]

From this and other videos, if adjustable clippers. Flat honing for comb only is ok,

How do you get a hollow grind on what looks like a flat disc?

[@TheEdgePro]

Watch this video and it will explain it further: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmnSc5iYmrCljLM

[@megarider]

Hello Mr. Brandon, so far so good on sharpening the wahl adjustable blades. The only troublesome blades are the wahl non adjustable balding with a comb that has very small teeth. Kindly advise me on the pressure to apply and the finishing part on the plate? Your techniques really work. Thank you.

[@TheEdgePro]

Hi! The techniques should be the same as the adjustable. One thing to take into consideration with a balding blade specifically and other very small fine edged combs is that the tips can get sharp, which will drag against the hair. These need to be softened after sharpening. We typically use either a piece of fine abrasive on the table or a flat hone.

[@TheEdgePro]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH6th2qChr6eoas this video should show us softening the tips!

Hi Brandon, This One video earned you my subscription, Great work !! I have two questions, What kind of Machine does OSTER use in their factory ?? and is the machine you were using, its brand and does it use the applied grit method? Thank you Brother.

[@barberhoa]

Hey! Great vid! Any tips on sharpening or when newly sharpened blades that dry out quickly? I have to continually add oil after 2-3 mins of use. Thanks!

[@TheEdgePro]

Hi Harlem! It sounds like the blade needs to be cleaned out! Oftentimes the gunk in the blade can just become more sticky when you add more oil and create more of an issue than solve anything. Try cleaning the blade with Andis Cool Care or rubbing alcohol and then oil. That should last you longer!

[@paulr5027]

When you de-burr with a wire brush, Do you just drag on the burr side, or both sides? If one side only, should you recheck, sharpen a bit again? If both sides, can it dull the sharp edge a bit?

[@queryads1000]

What video shows burr removal

[@TheEdgePro]

Burr removal is not something we concentrate on due to most domestically made commercial blades having a high quality alloy and rockwell hardness allowing the burr to flake off as we sharpen. this makes unnecessary to spend extra effort deburring. However, there are certain blades that we do inspect for burrs, one of which is the Wahl 5 in 1 cutter and Lister and Premier cutters. You can watch the video about sharpening the 5 in 1 blades that show some techniques on deburring. Most deburring has to do with metal fatigue flipping the burr back and forth until it falls away. This can be done with a wire or nylon brush.

[@behroozkhodadadi1449]

Hi i sharp my blade, but why dose it burn my face after trimming?

[@12koo]

Can medical aluminum oxide be used to sharpen the blade of a razor?

[@oddsman01]

It looks like you can take a quality wet stone to the blade. Once it’s flat (not too much….conserve as much of the hollow as possible), you then follow up with a smaller stone to remove material to mimic a hollow cut. The cut wouldn’t show up as curved on a rub plate, but that curve is probably just a compromise of using a sharpening plate.

[@pichieandboy7816]

Ok Edge Pro, I am asking, I would like to find out, is the hone ( the disk ) a complete metal ? The reason why I'm asking this question is because I want to form or create a Clipper blade sharpening machine.

[@Thingstodointenn]

Why not just use a wet stone since there is very little play on the metal removal on trimmer blades?

[@TheEdgePro]

Hi Jason! The biggest issue with using a flat surface to create two matching flat surfaces is the material doesn't remove evenly and typically comes off faster on the edges than the core, which will make the two mismatch. The specialty wheels that we use are designed to create a hollow grind to create proper seating for the two pieces of the blade.

[@fixurshears3565]

Great video! In my design of my handheld chairside blade sharpener I purposely refused ANY blade edge training. It has been my experience that traditional thought and training get in the way of innovation.

nope, can not get this T-10 to cut on the ends....GRRR I'll try again with even more pressure :o)

[@SharpObserver1A]

I just can't believe the disc is convex only in the middle. so that if you hold the piece longer there it hollows the piece. does not make any sense.

[@TheEdgePro]

Believe it or not, hollow ground plates are used by professional sharpeners everywhere and are necessary to correctly sharpen a blade. In-person training is the best option for you if you do not understand how it all works!
