premier1supplies.com • 1-800-282-6631 Superior Service! Fast turnaround! When most of us need sharp gear, we needed it yesterday. We resharpen most blades and combs in 24 hrs. (Allow us an extra day in the hectic summer months.) Precision finish! We sharpen most large clipper blades on automated machines. Combs and cutters are sharpened on high-speed grinding wheels by our sharpening experts. Blades for camelids should be double ground for a superior edge (double grinding is only done upon request). How good is our service? Good enough that we now sharpen more than 50,000 blades, combs and cutters a year. Warning: Blades, combs and cutters can be damaged (and even ruined) during sharpening by those without proper machines or methods. Professional Resharpening Services To reduce wear and heat—be sure to lubricate combs/cutters and clipping blades often during use. FAQs about blades and combs Most common problem? Failure to lubricate blades and cutters often enough with a high-quality oil. Why don’t users oil more often? 1. They assume water (in wet wool) is a lubricant. It isn’t. 2. They fear excess oil will stain white wool or hair. Prevent this by putting only 3 drops of a white oil on the blade or tips. Then run the machine for 3 seconds. Wipe away any surplus oil. Resume work. Rust? Blades are made of high carbon steel. They rust very quickly. Even the weak acid from your fingers on blade/comb steel will cause rusting within 24 hours. 1. Rusted blades and combs are harder to push through fiber. 2. Rusted blades, combs or cutters won’t hold their edge as long. It’s critical, after every use, to clean blades with hot water, dry and coat them with real oil (not spray-on coolants). Are spray coolants lubricants? No! Spray coolants lower blade and comb head temperatures, but they also dilute or remove the remaining oil. This soon results in an increase in friction, heat and wear. How?
