I don’t have a picture but I’ll describe it.
I use these for legs/face when I body clip. I body clip a lot of horses, probably 15-20 a year. I have big clippers for body, these little ones for line work and sensitive areas.
The little ones are newer and don’t get used as much since I do a lot of clips that don’t need legs or face, plus I care well for my stuff. Frequent oil, cleaned and sanitized after clips, motor cleaned and oiled every couple goes. Blades sharp, stored oiled and clean.
When I use them sometimes the noise changes to a softer hum and stops clipping. Blades are still moving but not clipping. If I thwack the clippers hard, they’ll work again.
I think it’s an alignment issue, because sometimes the blades look crooked when I stop the motor. Not just a little crooked either, but several millimeters off. I took the blades off, cleaned and realigned everything to factory default. No go. Changed back to my usual tension and whatnot, no go. New blades? Bought like 5 sets, all don’t work, but the measurements inside the clippers with the holders and whatnot are the same, even when running.
Tension is good, power good, aligned properly and all screwed in right, I use the recommended blades and the same oil brand.
Any ideas? Or suck it up and buy new clippers?
