People are reporting different numbers of guard combs. What's the deal? And what is the maximum clearance of the comb(s) for the flat trimmer?

Mine came with 3 total. 2 little combs that slide onto the small tip pictured.. I think these are meant are for eyebrows. Look kinda like a butterfly... But I found them useless. There is also a straight shaver type cutter tip / attachment that transforms the device into a regular trimmer. You twist off the little trimmer tip and twist that one on. That tip uses the 3rd comb that only fits it and which has about 1/8 inch clearance.. Im not at home but that's from memory. That would work well if you wanted that length. I have used that on my sideburns..

Three combs: Short (1/8") and long (3/16") eyebrow combs fit over the nose/ear trimmer head. A detailer comb fits over the precision (flat) trimmer head and trims hair to 1/4".

I've been using the shortcut for 4 years now. This is my third trimmer. I like it close with the 1 setting also using the smaller guard. It cuts a little closer with no quard but its easier to fade to a 1\half setting on top 1 on back and sides. Most people say its really short that way. With the quard it's more comfortable. I hope this helps

The clippers don't matter so much as the blades. If it's a clipper that uses standard interchangeable blades, then yes. I use a 30 with mine for the most part. Just do not use a 40 with these guard combs.

Not sure, I just used the guards over the Clipper blades that went with the Andis clippers I bought to get my different hair lengths.

The #0000 blade width is 1.75" (bought separately). The # 000 width is 1 11/16" and the #1 is 1 15/16" both come with the clipper. Because of the large width of the blades it could be real awkward to use around the ears on a regular hair cut or mustaches. As for the neck and sideburns no problem even as a liner. Hope this is helpful

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.

As a professional, I use this clipper for ALL breeds. Length of coat is determined by owner preference, if the coat is matted and what can be done with least amount of discomfort to dog and groomer. The blades and/or guard combs a groomer chooses to use determine the length of hair. In order to use the longer blades and/or guard combs the coat must be tangle free. This clipper comes with a fairly short blade but there are a wide selection of blades groomers have in our tool boxes.

The comb from tip of handle to bottom of comb is 9 and 1/2 inches...the spaces between are 1/4 of an inch....really big and really spaced out...

The trimmer on my newer FS5790 seems to work well on long hairs but I agree that the trimmer on my older MS280 works a little faster owing to its greater width. I doubt that there is sufficient time saved by switching razors to justify the switch. This might vary with individuals

Are you talking about the guard or the actually trimmer portion? I've never been pricked by the trimmer or the guard and it cuts really well. I have thicker facial hair and it works great.i wouldn't exactly call either the guard or trimmer rounded though

There are 3 adjustable guards that work with the attachment in picture 1 and 4 different attachments...nose trimmer, foil razor, small trimmer and larger trimmer. I hope this helps.

I've never had those, so I have no clue. There's a slightly more expensive Braun model with a little trimmer, but it's a bit clumsy to use. I prefer using my beard trimmer for that kind of problem area.

Search for WAHL guard combs, if you need to figure out a brand. There are a few others but Wahl is very easy to get and replace and are professional quality.

Either this one or a standard furminator I would think. These are not terribly expensive so you might try this first and then consider the standard if you need a finer comb.

The Oster website has an awesome chart for dog breeds and different types of cuts with the corresponding blades to use for each. I would personally use a 5 with a cutting guard...the smaller the number the longer the hair.

I work in a grooming salon and all of my coworkers use a #30 blade with their clip combs. Between using the correct blade and brushing the dog out to make sure there are no matts you should have less problems.

The BodyCruzer can provide as close a shave as you desire. It comes with three trim guards, which allows for different trim lengths. I generally stick with medium guard and have not experienced any problems with nicks or cuts.
