How to Zero Gap Andis Masters

[@philiplondonaz]

Thank you so much for this video. Nobody ever told me about clicking the bottom blade in place! The bloody thing zero gapped itself once I did that little trick!!! Thank you sir!

[@KevvThaw]

Glad I can help bro!

[@ismaelcisneros2665]

What a great video!!! your pace of explaining and how you manage to refocus so we can see exactly what you were doing is amazing, haven't watch something like this in a looong time! thanks, now I can f...k mine up lol well hopefully I do it as well as you did.

[@KevvThaw]

I really appreciate that man. Comments affirming my explanation or hard work in general tend to inspire me. Hopefully you fixed them masters!

[@lance3451]

this is great info, better then the paper instructions you receive when buying this clipper, thank you so much

[@dougmorris5625]

My brand new Andis Master would not cut hair but PULLED it out. I tried adjusting the clipper blades, etc. No luck. Sent it back.

[@firesaturn]

Am I missing something? Because my bottom blade doesn't snap onto the prongs like yours

[@xderiwx]

Nice video! Would a Andis Master fully closed and stock, be able to fade out the line from an Andis T-Outliner that's stock? Or is it absolutely necessary to have the Master zero-gapped to achieve a bald fade with the Master/T-Outliner combo? Thanks!

[@KevvThaw]

Great question. But unfortunately it is impossible to fade the line of t-outliner with a stock andis master, it just doesn't cut close enough. You'd have to feather cut (use the corner of the blade) with the t-outliners skillfully to get the line out if you don't wanna zero gap your masters. And that's a difficult task.

Years ago b4 I knew how to zero gap,I popped off the lil' nib that actually pushes the blade up,out of frustration.😢 Ignorantly thinking smthg was wrong with them.Since then I've bought many other clippers,but none quite like these.I tried crazy glue/gorilla glue,- nothing.I thought about drilling a tiny hole wherebthe nib was(lost it) & putting apiece of wire,plastic,toothpic in it's place!😂 - Is there a way to fix these without sending them back to the manufacturer?This happened almost 20 yrs ago,but they're still in great condition because I barely got the chance to use them!Thanks in advance.

[@soulslikebirds]

that was great to see. You have to know how your tools work. I'm just getting into barbering and this is fundamental to becoming a master barber. cheers Boss..... keep the the great videos coming!!

[@KevvThaw]

Real talk, I can't wait to become a master barber man.

[@CumminsN14DBest]

Where Can I buy the "ORIGINAL" replacement blades for the Andis Master ML?

[@ahill7099]

I think they use those torx screws cause they tend to strip less for reg maintenance...maybe

[@isaelramos7390]

10x better then some other video I just saw.. but instead of the guy pushing that little pice that moves the cutting blade up he moved it down then tightened it.. but I'm using this vid for a reference that other dude was doin to much other shit.. lol .. good vid

[@Beatbyawhiteboy]

Lol

[@hubbHD]

Hey. I just got the Andis Fade Master, and after turning the power screw to stop that loud buzzing sound, the blades are not in a straight line, just like in 06:08. Is that normal?

[@1mirs]

I'm having a hard time get the bottom bald fade line out. Will zero gapping masters help me get it out? And since they are zero gapped will a 1 guard closed cut hair shorter than before?

[@JustTheToyStuff]

Yo yo..what up Kev! Fellow barber here, got a question for you: Yo, lately my Andis Master be getting mad hot really quick. You think it's time for new clippers?

[@cool.guy777]

My lever doesn’t go to the last line, my old masters did however my new ones don’t… and they won’t go to a 000 they go one step above, what is up with this any way to fix ?

[@MarvalesKuts]

Yo bro I know this random but what song or instrumental that was playing in and out the video? 😂 it’s fire 🔥

[@xHibachi24x]

Hey brother! I was wondering if this was the fade blade or taper blade, and if you've tried both.

[@KevvThaw]

This is the taper blade, and yea i have both.

[@edp9517]

How do you adjust the lever

[@tonypspokertable2728]

would changing the cutting blade to ceramic cutter make a difference, if the blade is a little longer then the one it Comes with?

[@Whocasperrantz]

Name of the screw driver you used and the name and sizes of the screws?

[@xxSCREAM94XX]

Excellent vid! But after a while I just couldn't ignore that nice crisp instrumental playing in the background. You must share it with us!

[@KevvThaw]

Lol. thanks! and I was given that beat. It's not online.

[@mazharkhatri779]

Hi there, I have new Andis machine but when I opened and the cutting blade is not moving, what should I do now can you help please

[@westcoastfishingbrossuarez7436]

I just got my masters and the little Handel too open and close the guard it’s a little hard too open and close how do I make it smother too open and close I oiled it and it still a little hard too open and close the guard

[@VDM32]

No wonder I couldn’t fade out lines i use trimmers for bald fades I had to use the Wahl razor edge with the 1/2 guard to fade out line is there any 1/2 guards for andis masters? I’m new to this barber game

[@face144]

GOOD LOOKING FAM...MUCH APPRECIATED💯💯💯💯💯

[@KevvThaw]

absolutely bro! thanks for watching!

[@Streetcorsa]

What kinda screws did you use for the andis masters mine are stripped

[@joenoah9906]

search "andis master blade screws" on google and you can purchase a set from a barber supply website.

[@rubencarrillo8266]

Tried zero gapping mine today and the blade is now crooked watched sm videos too👎🏾ima try to return them

[@GamerPkc75]

Is it normal after zero gapping them the double magnetic guards make a loud noise when the lever is closed?

[@tyrelljones2162]

MooN MaN no it means your cutting through you guards that's why I had to change mines back to factory settings

[@barberboykevin9666]

Sounds like a beast

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

great video bro i managed to zero gap my masters after a couple tries :). one thing though, i heard that when you zero gap the masters, it chews on the purple magnetic guards... how'd you manage to get around this?

[@KevvThaw]

You don't. lol. You just allow it to chew it eventually stops. That's one of the consequences to 0 gapping. Thanks for watching bro!

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

Thebarberstable thanks bro i love watching ur videos, i cut my own hair and I've been learning a lot from you

[@marfigue777]

dude where we can buy that screwdriver

[@MannyG952]

Can you use a clipper guard when zero gaped?

[@Fa-kc3yv]

Yes, but know that when your lever is closed it might rattle against the guard and make a noise, possibly shaving your guard. Just open the blade a millimeter when using guards.

[@biggodthebarberYouTube]

After 0 gapping does anyone elses clippers make a loud sound when the guards are on and all the way closed? If so how do you fix that? By clipping the guards?

[@KevvThaw]

Yea that's gonna happen. The guards aren't made with zero gapping in mind. So it's gonna chew at the guards for a few uses and then it stops.

[@markmellinger983]

I zeroed mine and they work amazing, why didn't I do it sooner

[@KevvThaw]

I felt the same way, lmao. They work amazingly!

[@fatboy9778]

Just got bck from buying me them andis masters, im fenah zero gap them thx for d info

[@KevvThaw]

Bet! Hope it works out for you bro.

[@BIGNORM1031]

Where u get that screw driver kit? What the name of that kit?

[@Fa-kc3yv]

Came to the comments to get an answer too. I need it!!!

[@rrivers57]

My blade snaps on but still wiggles and moves, what could this be?

[@mokush4me412]

Did this and now my clippers are extremely loud..

[@Poppi3579]

setting the blade this close, does it cut 0000? or only 000?

[@homicidekhalifa4615]

Poppi3579 000

[@markmellinger983]

does it still get pretty bald with that curved blade?

[@KevvThaw]

Depends on what you think pretty bald is. It's harder to take a line out with the curved(taper) blade opposed to the fade blade.

[@mattlopez3509]

Aye, my lever on my masters is so loose! Like I’ve tightened the bolts to make it tighter and when I turn it on the lever is just like so loose it won’t stay at the notches where I put it. Any advice?

[@KevvThaw]

Hmm, that's strange. And by "bolts" you mean the four screws under the blade right?

[@mattlopez3509]

Thebarberstable yes the four screws.

[@mattlopez3509]

Thebarberstable it’s only when I turn the clipper on, it will stay at the first and last notch but the two middle notches it will go down it won’t stay so I don’t know if there’s a trick to fix it or if I should send it back?

[@KevvThaw]

I honestly haven't ever come across that problem. So I'm not sure, I'd love to take a look.

[@mattlopez3509]

Thebarberstable if you have like a Snapchat or something that I can send you a video. I’d appreciate it.

[@ericalbert6954]

Merci beaucoup l'Ami !

[@chanotheprodigy8689]

I Tried zero gapping my masters and now the Blade is crooked and they wont turn on😪FML

[@KevvThaw]

They don't make a sound at all?

[@Beatbyawhiteboy]

Lol

[@Br12141]

having hard getting bottom blade to clip back on

[@KevvThaw]

Yea bro it's tough, you just gotta keep at that thing.

[@NFZ22]

Did you ever get it?

[@PapiQaz]

Thanks dude :)

[@Locd_KING003]

Yo Kevv you should do a video to cut your own hair completely you know

[@KevvThaw]

What's good Chris?? And I literally tried that yesterday. I just never liked the angle, smh. But I'll def get that up here. Thanks for the suggestion bro!

[@xavierpoutre6120]

What size is the star bit?

[@KevvThaw]

I really couldn't tell you bro. But this is the screwdriver I use: toolguyd.com/milwaukee-compact-ratcheting-screwdriver-review/

[@peteywheet1285]

Thanks bruh!!!

[@KevvThaw]

Gotchu bro!

[@Flexamillious]

We dont wanna die today lmao

[@toteknowledge]

I want to do mine so bad, but Im hesitant because the last masters I had I messed up & the 1s I have now are collectors & I would hate to ruin those. Too bad Andis just wont zero gap the shit themselves

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

how'd you mess up the first ones?

[@toteknowledge]

MCFriedChicken1 started playing around with the housing & must have not assembled them back correctly. Never could find what I did exactly to them, just know they never worked again. Fortunately, I just tried zero gapping my 90th edition 1s & didnt mess anything up (I think) ha

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

More Live i just adjusted the blade on mine and hopefully I didn't mess anything up. It sounds normal though

[@stickdeck]

Didn’t work at all

[@sharpeningarts4053]

thanks

[@roandiasrd]

[@KevvThaw]
