my husband is a barber and he just keeps setting them, testing on his arm until he gets them very sharp like he wants them. I'll ask him if there's anything else I should mention to you!

Andis Clippers?

May 03, 2008 by Ambiance | Posted in Hair

So, I jusst bought a set of clipper. Andis clippers.

And they dont have the number.. on the clipper guards, just says 3/4 in 1in.. and so on, where can i find some kind of chart or something to covert it to the clipper numbers?

Here is a chart which represent most of the clippers attachment blade:
000000 = 0.1 mm 0.250 inch (blade with no guard)
00000 = 0.2 mm 0.125 inch (blade with no guard)
000 = 0.5 mm 0.100 inch (blade with no guard)
0A = 1.2 mm (blade with no guard)
1 = 2.4 mm
1A = 3.0 mm 3/8 inch
2 = 6 mm 1/4 inch
3 = 9 mm 3/8 inch
4 = 12 mm 1/2 inch
Hope that answer your question. May vary slightly depending on the brand name you use.

Thank you!
They are both Andis

I've always preferred Andis, I learned to groom on Osters but I hate the darn unwieldy things. Of those two I would certainly go with the first set, the easy clipper kit, but if you could swing it to afford the Andis AG 2 speed:

I've had the same pair for 14 YEARS, had to replace nothing and do nothing beyond very basic maintenance, and love them. They can use any series of Andis/Oster detachable blades....where it looks like either of those two you picked out will only use those specific blades?(See where it says not A-5 compatible? That means likely you will have to buy special blades made just for that clipper, which are probably far more expensive and harder to find). The AG have well paid for themselves.

Good luck!
