Inspection

Clipper blades are visually inspected before sharpening. Each part of a clipper blade is is integral to how the blade cuts. Notes are made pertaining to blade rail life, broken teeth, and any parts that are missing or require replacement. *for blades with chipped teeth, we will always sharpen them if they do not interfere with the performance of how the blade should cut

Sharpening

After the clipper blades are inspected, they are sharpened. We do not sharpen clipper blades flat. When they are sharpened flat, the teeth separate and they will not cut properly. We re-establish the proper shape which clipper blades require to cut effectively, while also concentrating on proper tension and balance to provide a smooth, consistent cutting surface.

Cleaned and Tested

After sharpening, all clipper blades are cleaned, reassembled, and tested. Once the clipper blades have been tested to cut properly, they are given a fresh coat of oil and are ready for return.

Packaged for Protection

Clipper blades are returned in bags to prevent moisture from coming in contact with the metal. Moisture leads to rust which can affect the performance of the blades. Blades are then packaged safely for travel.
