![]() ![]() We fully understand the importance attached to correct and reliable sharpening, as we do to those instances when blades for whatever reason, do not give the performance expected! In certain instances blades may be returned to the manufacturer if we deem it necessary. Understanding the importance between lapping v grinding blades as well as appreciating the various blade styles is vital to their “clipping” performance.īlades sent to Peasridge will be re-sharpened (lapped) by professional engineers on the correct profession machinery in accordance with blade manufacturer’s recommendations. Some makes of horse/cattle clippers are fitted with a “locking” nut – this should be screwed downward and “locked” tightly once you are certain the tensioning is correct.īlade sharpening is an engeering skill, which requires not only a great degree of individual skill, but the use and application of the correct machinary. Oil frequently, but liberally! (Remember most of the oil will be swept off the blades the moment you switch on the machine.)Ī shearer shearing 250/300 sheep in a day may use up to a gallion of oil! The diagram will give guidance to the various places to oil. Oil is VITAL to the cool running of the blades and the clipper head ![]() Generally the best advice is to follow the instructions on tensioning in the manufacturer’s instruction manual. Cattle and Sheep owners get a lot of practice – Horse owner infrequently clip enough to become familar with their machines – hence the importance of practice with any machine. You need to practice to begin with but one the art is learnt it can be done with your eyes shut. Tensioning is one of the easiest tasks to perform. It is strongly recommended that clipping any animal irrespective of size should only be undertaken if you possess either a spare new or newly sharpened second set of blades, so as to avoid the admittedly remote possibility of a non or partially clipped animal. Having said that – there are cases when blades are not correctly sharpened, either due to the operators lack of skills or the type of sharpening machine used. This is NOT always bad quality sharpening – although often a convenient “accusation.” It may be the result of many or a collection of circumstances involving either the tensioning of the machine or the state of the animal’s coat, possible use of the wrong blade for the particular hair texture, lack of frequent oiling to quote but a few of the reasons that blades may dull and therefore not clip as expected. The uncertainty surrounding blade clipping performance is one of the “downsides” to clipping and whilst there are many instances of blades clipping a number of animals before dulling or not clipping – so too are there many cases of blades that clip a few inches and then cease to clip! It should be clearly understood that ANY make of blade – whether new or freshly re-sharpened may for a variety of reasons clip for only a limited time. Most manufacturers’ manuals will give guidance on these subjects – otherwise please consult Peasridge for additional advice. Purchasers and users should be conversant with the different types of various blades, their uses in relationship to the various clipping tasks, the correct sharpening procedures, the correct tensioning and oiling, and proper maintenance when not in use. Peasridge attempt to provide more information about blades than other web sites or indeed often the manufacturers themselves. Using any of the Clipperman blades on a Wolseley machine invalidates the Manufacturer’s warranty. Should Wolseley blades be used of Clipperman machines we cannot take or accept responsibility if they become prematurely blunt or the clippers does not work correctly. Some Wolseley clipper blades are too tight when fitted on the Clipperman machine head and as a result cause the clipper not to work property. Wolseley clipper blades are not interchangeable with Clipperman blades ![]() Most shearing machines also accept Heiniger and Lister cutters and combs (except those fitted with “narrow” heads!) WOLSELEY LIVESTOCK BLADES IMPORTANT INFORMATION – please read carefully! SELECTING CORRECT BLADESĬertain makes of machines whether horse/cattle clippers or shearing machines can be fitted with other than the manufacturer’s make of blades – for example Heiniger livestock machines can be fitted with Aesculap and certain Liscop blades – see relative clipper pages. ![]()
