I have the blade that this clipper came with. I am assuming it is the fine blade. It works great. What exactly does the coarse blade do differently? Also, what happens when you feel it is getting dull? How do you know? Does it start going slower and...

blade does not FEEL sharp although I don't know how sharp it should be. I was disappointed with the results of the first cut - it hardly cut anything and needs cut again after 2 days. At first I thought the blade's height was not close enough to the grass even though I tried all settings. Now I am thinking the problem is with the sharpness. I will take it to a professional and get an opinion.

This is a courser cut then the original blade yours came with. It does work well but is better for terriers if used without a comb. These do seem to last much longer, and stay sharper then the original "fine" cut blade... Hope that helps Elizabeth. :)

as the blade dulls it does not clip well and works harder. it pulls and gets hot to touch. try it on yourself.it is not ment to body clip mainly trim up muzzel, tail, straggiling hairs.

I had the same problem; It comes with the adapter, ready to attach to your clippers. If your blade is still good detach it from the adapter and save it for a spare. Amazon also sells the blade platform (adapter); you can detach your blade from the broken adapter and install it on the new adapter.

I was doing similar cutting and found out to get the best cut I had to blow across the blade opening after 3 cuts. It seemed to get clogged with almost invisabe pieces of paper. I was using a new blade. Oncertainly I was done with all the fussy cutting blade works fine. Been told that a blade last 3 - 6 months with normal cutting. I had used a previous blade for Six months.

Hi Peggy this is a fantastic clipper for any dog... if you are new to grooming Suggest you do a little research on the type of blades you will need to achieve the desired look for your dog. There is loads of info out there when you search "how to groom a ----. Suggest going with ceramic blades rather than steel as they stay cooler longer.. I should clarify that I am by no means a pro and only take care of my lasso apso and A cocker spaniel trimming both with a 10, 7 and 3 blades to achieve a puppy cut.. Lower the number longer the cut... Higher the number the closer the cut... A 15 will cut down to skin. You can also use a 10 blade with a plastic rake attachment to get a longer cut but I have not. Hope that helped

I Agree with Lulu, Maybe you need to turn the Clipper speed up a little on the side of the Clipper. You could also check on YouTube To make sure are holding the Clipper correctly. I use these Clippers everyday. Best of luck to you.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

Just sharpened my No.2 with it and it comes out perfect. I bought it for home, bc I have two in elementary and I didn't want to fool around. I'm very pleased. Kids use it just fine. Works fast too. Seems you always get what you pay for. Good Luck

Mine came with fine blade and that is the one you want to use - coarse has much more potential for a cut on the pet.

to HeyImWade. i can't figure out just what you mean. do me a favor and reword you question and i'll do my best to help you. i will explain how i use the #10 comb. with the comb that came with my clipper, i remove the comb i was using and the #10 comb snaps on the clippers by its self and it will leave your hair 1&1/4 long and i found it to cut my hair the perfect length for me. if i can help further, please ask and i'll do my best.

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

What number blade are you looking for? I ordered the #5 blade and had to return it as it too didn't fit. I haven't re-ordered yet, but will say this that the #10 blade that came with the set was no longer sharp for when I cut my dogs hair for the second time. I have a Shih Tzu who's hair was never beyond an inch and always groomed no knots...so there should be no excuse for that. I now need to get another #10, but not sure if I should invest more money in these clippers as I don't find they have much power to them.

As I recall, this machine was a piece of C**p. It did not last long at all and it wasn't cheap. I now have a Sharp, which seems to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!

Are you trimming or lining up, or are you doing clipper over comb or using guards? It cuts pretty well, but go slower than you would because this is a trimmer with a finer closer tooth blade and is really meant more for trimming, but just go slower than you would with clippers with larger not as close blades.

This item was pretty good while it was new. But after 2 months of use the blade went dull. I told the guy who recommended it he told me he sharpens it every 3 months or so. I just went back to my WAHL precision clipper which is still surprisingly as good as it was 10 years ago. And without sharpening. This outliner I kept just for back up.. Hope this helps.
