HOW TO ZERO GAP CLIPPERS ✅ Adjusting Clipper Blades for Beginner Barbers

[@TanMista]

Best zero gap video out there! Thanks for mentioning about the guard rattling when you zero gap, i feel like no other channels mention that and people just assume their clippers are broken when its meant to be that way when its absolute zero gapped hence why most barbers use 2 clippers ( one completely zero gapped, one slightly less zero gapped like yours)

[@Seancutshair]

💯💯💯

[@joelalmazan308]

Excellent. Although I’ve been a student barber for a while now, I still learned that when the clipper is zero gapped, once you put a guard on it, it’ll rattle and that is what happened with my clippers once I zero gapped them but didn’t the the reason behind it. Thank you so much Sean.

[@dr.bajapanties]

Brother man I appreciate you! My son is learning how to cut hair and I’m going to be his test dummy. I bought him some clippers from my barber and they had this issue. I thought we bought the wrong guards!!! This video helped us out a lot! Imma put my son on your channel! You a real one 💯

[@AndyAcosta-z5s]

Very good explaining

[@auged5946]

5:32 Hi man! I noticed this key part of your video and I just wanted to ask you whether you could clarify what you mean by moving the bottom blade back toward the centre so it has full coverage when moving back and forth as it’s something I always get wrong when zeroing gapping🙏

[@edgarivanmiranda1943]

Thank you Sean I was able to remove my old blades from my fx silver clipper and replace it with the gold ones and leave it the same spot to not hit the guards, thank you for this content helps a lot in detail, I also notice my clippers were loud and when i change the blades the noise went down a lot.

[@Seancutshair]

Good deal 👌🏻

[@edgarivanmiranda1943]

@@Seancutshair One las question Sean, my blade moves to different spots every time I turn it on and off, is that normal for the blade to move spots? I'm talking about the first little blade thanks

[@mikedog5289]

Cool this was really good I had problems with the guard rattling now I know also love how you explain on how the blade should be even on both sides I’ve always noticed how my blade was not rotating even I wasn’t Sure if that was normal maybe that explains why when I use the corner it would pull my clients hair

[@Seancutshair]

Exactly! Glad it helped!

[@orlandoc661]

Dope zero gap video for us beginners. Didn't know you could still use guards if the clippers were zero gapped👍

[@Seancutshair]

Sometimes they can rattle but can still use them either way

[@draculamaxxed]

This helped a lot! One thing that has been driving me insane is being afraid of over tightening the screws or not tightening them enough. Any tips on this? Thanks!

[@Seancutshair]

They should just be snug enough you would have to really put some pressure into to it to tighten it more

[@draculamaxxed]

@@Seancutshair appreciate it man!

[@josec.5209]

Thanks for the video, I just got the new babyliss boost fx matte black clippers I haven't zero gap yet cuz I wanted to see how the cut.

[@Seancutshair]

They’re nice!

[@pkmn644]

Hi man,Thank you for all your videos,they've been very helpful to me,i got myself Babyliss lo pro recently,i tried to zero gap it but the blade don't want to go down,the screws touch the blade from the top of the circle around them,i don't know what to do couse i don't afford to pay a trimmer from babyliss,really want to zero gap this one. Thanks

[@crayonjambe7515]

My question is about the left/right alignment of the bottom blade. The top blade moves left and right, and each time you switch on the clippers then switch it off, the top blade doesn't stop in the same position every time. So when aligning the bottom blade, how do you account for this? What position of the top blade do you go off to set the bottom blade? Thanks

[@Seancutshair]

Center it based on the position on the clipper body

[@Niqo.Rider92]

my clipper its to loud, its new u can help me?

[@aydub3911]

Came from your reply to my comment about zero gapping clippers. Just wanted to ask if its bad for the clipper if the cutters hitting the guards (besides the annoying sound lol). Also i appreciate how you reply to all the comments, real one 💯

[@Seancutshair]

Idk if I’d say it for sure caused damage to the blade but it would seem possible, it’s obviously not supposed to make that sound and grind the guard so I try to avoid that

[@norcalnights]

Sean how do you stop it from going crooked again after a cut? I tighten the screws down but I'll look at the adjustment after and it will be slightly crooked.

[@Seancutshair]

If you tighten it correctly it shouldn’t shift

[@addeh666]

No matter what I do the blades are going to the side when tightening the screws. One side always get a bit higher. Got any tips?

[@Seancutshair]

Just have to hold it secure and slowly turn the screw

[@alexayala4542]

I have the Babyliss fx w/fusion blade not zero gapped. And wahl seniors zero gapped with the fade blade. Is that a good set up or should swap blades, clippers?

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah that’s pretty solid

[@619sandiego8]

Great vid👊🏼

[@chrisjay323]

This was awesome thank you so much for that lol I actually did this to all my clippers when I bought a pair growing up and didn’t k so what I was doin lol I was instructed by a barber to do it 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣 everything you did made sense. My tools in the clipper department has grown MUCH! I still one day would love to be a barber lol thanks again!

[@Seancutshair]

Nice! Glad it helped!!!

[@vonsantiagocuttz]

Can smb help I adjusted and tightened the screws on the blade on the back aka the comb blade but no matter how much I tighten it the back blade always moves while cutting how do I fix this?

[@Seancutshair]

I’m not sure it really shouldn’t move if it’s tightened enough

[@joeskichavez395]

Keep going Sean 👊🏾💯 I currently cut with the JRL 2020C and the Babyliss Lopro. I have them adjusted slimilar to the way you have your clippers gapped. 👊🏾

[@Seancutshair]

Yes exactly the same

[@chrisss7135]

what is zero gapping used for

[@Seancutshair]

Makes it cut closer and helps get the skin line out

[@eeiko321]

Hmm I just tried to zero gap my wahl Magic clippers and I’m not sure what’s going on.. It seemed like a waste of time for me. I closed it from stock and it seems to cut me when I tested… so bringing it back to prevent cutting looks almost like how it was before as stock?

[@Seancutshair]

Have to get it just close not overlapping

[@eeiko321]

@@Seancutshair yeah a bit tricky. You don’t think the Wahl magic blades are any different to others with zero gapping? Also do any Wahl come stock as zero gapped ?

I have a question as soon as my clipper turns on the blade gets hot why ?

[@Seancutshair]

It shouldn’t that fast. Make sure it’s clean and there’s not a ton of hair underneath the blade. Make sure it’s well oiled. Use cool care throughout the cut and should be ok.

[@samuelsalcedo3582]

@@Seancutshair it does that fast there’s no hair I cleaned it I oiled it n I put cool care and as soon as I turn it on a couple sec you can feel them heat up and I just bought them I only cut like 7 peoples so far

I put the cool care n it fixed it but before me cleaning them it wouldn’t heat up like that

[@DavidWilliams-qu3vq]

Need some help Sean!! Im using the Gamma + Boosted with a taper blade, just put it on a few days ago. I noticed when I did a cut that it rattled when I put a guard on it. Fixed that issue. My newest issue I dont know how to fix is, when the clipper is closed, and i open it to the next click, the left side of the blade (when your looking at the clipper) rises slightly higher than the right side. Once i go to the other clicks, it levels back out. I changed out the bracket but still does the same thing..left side rises slightly on the first click.

[@Seancutshair]

I’m not sure. I’ve had people ask about their blade moving but I never had that problem

[@airgin7941]

hey little question man, the back blade isnt 100% centered for me when the blade is in the middle its a LITTLEEE more to the right, does that matter a lot?

[@Seancutshair]

It’s hard to tell when it’s off, but when it’s running it should move back and forth centered on the still blade. So just adjust it slightly until you get it centered

[@airgin7941]

@@Seancutshair but i mean does it matter if its just slightlyyyyyy uncentered

[@d3arb0rns]

@@Seancutshair where can I buy a replacement back blade?

[@TheGamergirl64]

I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong on mine my babyliss pros won’t stay aligned at all! One side stays perfectly flush the other keeps exposing the blade or moving to far above it like not matter how much I tighten the screw on that side it just immediately wiggles on that side as soon as I tighten the screw

I haven’t had that issue. If it’s all aligned and tightened correctly it should stay
