Clipper Basics A2 A6 A7

Comparing A2 A6 and A7 clipper blades
A2 blade leaves a shorter coat length compared to an A6 blade, meaning an A2 is considered a "medium" blade while an A6 is a "more coarse" blade, typically used for very thick or matted hair on animals like cattle, whereas an A2 is suitable for most horse clipping situations.
Cutting length: A2 blades leave a shorter coat length than A6 blades.
The difference between A6 and A7 clipper blades is that A7 blades are better for tough clipping conditions:
A6 clipper blades: These coarse blades are suitable for general clipping of cattle and horses, especially on thicker coats. They leave 3 mm of hair after clipping.
A7 clipper blades:These extra coarse blades are ideal for use on thick or somewhat dirty coats, thay are also knownas Dirty Cattle blades. They leave 3 mm of hair after clipping. A7 blades have fewer teeth on the comb than A6 blades, making them better for tough clipping conditions.

Clipper blades are available in different lengths and tooth patterns to achieve different trim styles and coat lengths. Perversly the higher the blade number, the shorter and finer the cut. For example, a 50 blade is closer to the skin, while a 3 blade leaves the fur longer.

Sharpening with The Lightest Touch

Removing Minimal Metal

When we sharpen your A2 or A6 blades we remove the minimum material at every grind, giving you better blade life and less expense overall.

Sharpening Clipper Blades The Correct Way

We use a German Liscop machine with a high speed rotating specially profiled disc (a cone) designed and dedicated to clipper blade sharpening. This has micro grooves machined into its face - like an old style LP disc. Prior to use the disc is loaded with sacrificial lubricant and abrasive powder which produces the grinding surface. There are two forms of discs made, ours specifically suits (A2 A6 A7 ) large animal blades - horse & cattle. We are unable obtain consistent 100% effectivness whn regrinding A5 pet clipper blades we reluctantly hav abandoned this market as we find our test results are not mimicked in everday use when groomers use re sharpennd blades not 100% perfect is noot ideal as we aim to please not disappoint

Certified Sharpeners think this is a better approach than other machines that have one design suiting all blades but not maximising and the geometry and optimising performance.

Clipper Tension & Lubrication

Clipper blades need to be correctly set for tension - the force between the comb and the cutters.
Simple advice is to tighten fully and then back off the tension one and a half turns as per the instructions usually outline. It's good practice to lubricate the blades every ten minutes of use with clipper oil (high quality Pure Mineral Oil - pharmaceutical grade) as seen in the picture below

The specialist machinery is used as using a simplle flat waterstone does not produce the most effective blade profile

The Specialist Grinder

Looks simple but in fact it’s not. The working surface has a conical profile and machined into a grooved aluminium disc. Oil and grit is pushed into the micro grooves making it a grinding wheel that can be refreshed. The high speed rotating disk hollow grinds clipper combs and cutters with great precision - the blades are not ground flat unless they are off an adjustable clipper. Don’t ruin yours on a diamond hone.

Enough and Not Too Much

The Ideal grind is to remove no more than 0.002” nor too little, not to get the work hot either. So we use a precision measuring device to give us the accuracy we need as to the amount removed. We measure before during and after the grind checking on completion for the value we seek. This will indicte to us the number of grinds left on the blades.

The Hollow Grind

We grind in such a way that results in a specific style of hollow grind. This to maximise the cutter life, minimise heat, chatter and efficacy of the cut from your clippers. Post gind the blades are washed in a degreaser and finally given a long spell in an ultrasonic cleaner using bactericide mixture so they’re clinically clean.
