    DISCOUNTED BUNDLE: amzn.to/4bbmQwo - Clean, lubricate, and zero gap any clippers or trimmers with this 4 minute tutorial.
    NOTE: Some clippers my require more force to get the two blades exactly flush together. In these cases, maneuver the small piece inside the machine onto which the small blade latches. In my video it is that small black piece. Moving that just a bit can help you align the two blades perfectly. Be careful not to apply too much force; it can break, of course.

    Dude you just saved me time and money from returning some clippers and buying more expensive ones. My old ones broke that I've had for years and bought some inexpensive ones and 1st thing I noticed was they didn't adjust as short as my old ones. Started looking for other clippers online and kept seeing the term zero gap and looked it up on UA-cam and your video was the 1st I saw. Reopened the clippers I had packaged back up and did as u said and they are just as good as my old clippers that I really liked. Thanks so much for the help!!!

    On the whal home cut pro. You can push it all the way. All you do is loosen the two screws push the blade back all the way and tighten while holding or pressing against countertop. Then take your fingernail and make sure you feel the bottom blade before the top(the one that moves). When cutting hair don’t press too hard or it can scratch. I just did this for the first time and the results were unbelievable. The clippers cut like a razor now.

    got to get me some of that barber oil.. I always thought that was what generous barbers put in their hand before putting that 10/40 on my hair. Personally I think clipper blade oil works a lot better on blades LOL As to zero gap yup just make sure your rail that sets the fader is not wobbling or you may still do damage to your customer.

  • @-johnny-deep-
    @-johnny-deep- 3 роки тому +3

    Seems easy. So if all you need to do is zero gap the blade, you would just have to loosen the two main screws and adjust the position, and you don't need to take it all apart, correct (like, say, on a brand new clipper)? Also, since you said to still have the top blade extend *slightly* further than the bottom blade, "zero gap" would really be "tiny gap", where "tiny" is something like 1/4 mm?

      @TipsforClips  7 років тому +36

      Thanks! Good question: I briefly mention at the end that it's for precision, but a better reason is that if you're ever using the clippers without any blades, you'll be able to get a really short cut. So if you're using the clippers in the short setting without any guards, it'll be as close to a zero as you can get it. Does that make sense?

      Scardrewpro, zero gapping helps you cut shorter, so it’s good for a balding haircut, though you’ll need something other than just clippers to entirely bald it out. It also helps with precision

    • @joeblack621
      @joeblack621 5 років тому

      It appears that most excellent clippers can cut hair to 0.8 mm but if you have a good shaver than it should be able to cut the hair from 0.8 mm to 0 mm safely.

    • @trkersten
      @trkersten 4 роки тому

      123 654 Nope, won’t work because the two holes in the blade and the two screws holding the blade have the same diameter. When I loosen the screws the blade is still fixed. It can only be moved when the screws have been removed. Maybe they have changed it with the model I have (Wahl Super Taper Cordless).
      I have now used two different screws to make it work like you have described. Thanks.
