Reasons Your Clipper Blades Aren't Cutting Properly

[@PlatypusProdigy]

Thank you very much for posting this! 🙂 My relatively new clippers keep jamming/simply won’t cut even though I just put brand new, high quality blades on them. I’m going to check the tension screw as well as the other points you’ve mentioned. Here’s hoping it fixes the problem because my wooly pony is getting warm!

let me know how things turn out...😁

I fired my sharpener because I sent in blades that were cutting fine but weren't gliding through the fur like they should be. Got them back and the guy had stolen the Andis cutters and replaced them with Oster. I don't think I'll ever pay someone to sharpen my stuff again. The guy already had points against him for returning most of my blades and they'd stop cutting on the first dog I would clip.

What if it feels like it's dragging?

[@bobbarker5884]

If my clippers are only 1 year old and bot used often, would you assume its not the bkade drive/lever? I replaced the blades too. So maybe I'm dealing with the hinge screw or tension? Any thoughts?

[@sharpedgesok]

I would think blade drive after a year.

I have question. What about a comb attachment ? I sharp a clipper blade, its working very good, but when i start to use comb attachment it doesn't work properly on that clipper blade . Can i ask you what i should do about it ?

[@sharpedgesok]

Comb attachments where out over time. The little springs that hold them on the blade start to weaken and will cause issues. Try using different comb attachments and see if the issue still happens. Also I may be that the set back on the cutter (top Blade) may need adjustment. That is something your sharpener should be able to help with. I hope this helps....😁

I have a babyliss fx trimmer brand new the blade doesnt cut well what do you suggest ?

[@sharpedgesok]

Probably getting the blades sharpened...😁

[@donaldpasserelli3529]

@@sharpedgesok yes ive thought of that but isnt it supposed to cut decent out of box ?

[@sharpedgesok]

@@donaldpasserelli3529 yes they are supposed to. Unfortunately, sometimes things get by quality control.

[@kefkapalazzo1]

I think if my blade were any sharper I’d slice my face they’re brand new

[@beachmasterX]

Literally just took mine out of the box and they don't work

[@sharpedgesok]

Unfortunately Quality control is not what I used to be.

[@robuu5890]

Tbh companies let defects go through and wait for them to come back, it's like using the customer as an extra employee to check for defects

[@robuu5890]

Although I will mention that shipping is also rough, I was a package handler at ups for 2 years; everyone tortures the boxes, cuts them open to see what's inside tape it back up, and if theyre getting boxes faster than they feel like working they start launching and slamming the packages to move faster. I wouldn't be surprised if your packages' handlers messed with it

[@sharpedgesok]

@@robuu5890 yep, I see that all the time

[@sharpedgesok]

@@robuu5890 I tell people when sending mail-in sharpening to just assume that their package will be football kicked across a warehouse and package accordingly...lol

Reason your clipper blades are not cutting properly...there made in CHINA 😂

[@rickyius8682]

One in four brand new Oster clipper blades will not cut hair ! ….because the comb comes down the assembly line and is sharpened there . The cutter blade comes down an adjacent assembly line and is sharpened by a different sharpening machine ! They don’t match ! Hope that helps you …Theres some free info for ya

[@sharpedgesok]

@@rickyius8682 thanks Ricky I wasn't aware of that....😁
