Has anyone just trimmed off the clear ¼" edge and used them? Or would that make them look bad because they wouldn't be tapered?

Wonderful...a cinch to apply. Up in 5-10 minutes or less. Soooo easy, I was surprised.

I have used them as is, but a suggestion if I may. If possible try taking some off the bottom of bottom side of the stem and see how it looks to you. They are easily removed and repositioned without damage.

I have used them in the past fo cutting 1 inch diagonals and for small pieces and they did just fine for me. At this price I keep some for my glass and some for other materials. Hope this helped.

I asked myself the same thing, figured I'd take a shot. I love them, glad I went with these and saved some money. I was able to put them on in one day, just make sure you've got good blades for the cutting wheel, there's quite a bit of metal trimming to be done. Definitely recommend these.

they're only being cut too thin if half of the picture is gone. you can never really cut these ¨too thin¨, but it's obviously possible to cut them too thick. I used an exacto-knife. It took a little while to get used to, but if you cut these on a cutting board in a downward pressing motion you can really get into the rhythm and cut them quicker.

I cut them with a scissors then used a razor knife to trim them flat. Be careful a did cut myself doing this. My daughter thinks you could use an emery board.

Yes. You would need to taper them with a pencil sharpener or something similar.

They could be trimmed with a saber saw on slow. They have a raised edge around the outside, so to look uniform, cut both sides and or the bottom. Thx, Rog.

I also cut them off using a jig saw. The plastic is thick enough and you could easily cut it with a hacksaw.

Sure. They're easy to cut. I think Scar Away also has 3" ones if that's a better size for you.

They do cut closer if they're properly zero-gapped; mine were perfect right out of the box and I'd contend that most of them will be. One advantage over clippers I've had before is that the open/closer lever on the side of the fade master is graduated, and I think this goes for most if not all Andis clippers, but Wahls and others are not. The biggest advantage for me is that you can use the purple magnetic guards on these and they'll never come off on their own and the teeth won't eat into them either; they are the best guards I've ever used.

I didn't cut mine, I just taped it to my fixture; but yes, they would be really easy to cut to size.

No you can't cut them to adjust the length. Why would you want or need to ?

I cannot answer this question, I did not cut them, as just used them as they are.

I've used mine once and didn't like them. They rolled the edge. I use a file now and that puts a real nice edge on the blade, with minimal material loss off the blade. I still have the original stones if your interested.

When you cut them cut 1/8 of an inch , that way it will still be slightly curved on both ends. It doesnt matter where you cut.

oh yes. I had to cut for 27" and not problem. You do know you can't see out of them which I what I wanted. clue is use a utility knife and a hard ruler and cuts so easy

You probably could trim them to size, it would be fairly easy to cut with a pair of good kitchen shears. Seems like the original packaging said something about how to trim them, but I no longer have any of it.
