I’ve learned so much watching these sharpening videos as to why clippers bite. The reason why they bite is because the top moving blade is sticking out too far over the bottom stationary blade DUH🤦🏽 Thank You Man👍🏽🙏🏽❤️

Technique worked great. You might mention the proper grit for the sharpening stone. I used 600 grit wet sand paper (with water) on a flat surface...it quickly and effectively resharpened my cheap clippers - faster even than using a sharpening stone while using the same technique you used in this video. Now, if only you can make a video for fixing the cheap Chynese switches on these clippers - they too are designed to stop working as soon as possible...just like all the other garbage that we buy from Chyna. (Chyna mispelled deliberately so that Big Tech doesn't erase my post...which they will otherwise.).

While grinding down the cutting sides of the upper and lower pieces is fine, the rear parts of the pieces mate too well, causing friction to develop no matter how well you oil them initially. I used an electric engraver to introduce imperfection to the rear mating parts so lubricant can remain in the microscopic grooves created by the engraver. My hair trimmer is an Oster, a pretty old one, that has relatively large mating surfaces at the rear of the cutting blades as compared to your Wahl. This may be the reason why mine is more vulnerable to developing more friction as the parts wear down. Another difference in our techniques is my use of 1000 and 6000 grit Whetstone which results in ultra smooth sharpening. You seem to use a much coarser stone that may yield the surfaces that I had to use the engraver to get. Using a coarser stone for the rear part of the blade may actually create better lubrication grooves than the engraver. Thanks for sharing.

Make sure you're blades are good quality steel before sharpening! Most cheaper brands aren't meant to be sharpened! Also, little tip: If you don't have a quality stone to sharpen on, you can use a super fine sheet of sandpaper, around 1000-1500 grit, lay if flat on a piece of glass, or super flat surface, spray some water on it and your good to go! A up and down motion of the blade while sharpening should hone the teeth really well!

It may just be the recording, but your stone doesn't sound quite flat...at about 2:28 you go towards the top of the stone and you can hear the shift. Again, maybe just me or thee was no metal debris in the stone because watching you, you utilize about 95% of the surface of the stone so I know you're not a rookie at sharpening and you're doing that to wear the stone evenly so you don't have to flatten it as often.

OIL!!!!!!!! Not an expert by any means - but it would stand to reason you want those edges as smooth and polished as possible. Grinding away on metal is creating scratches. Scratches that will be vibrating against each other, creating friction and heat. Adding a little oil to the stone will probably help obtain a more refined and smoother finish on the two metal blades sliding against each other.
