We've been using size 4 &amp; 4F for our 2 Bichons, but the size 4 now has broken teeth. What's the difference between this 4FC &amp; the other two blades?

http://www.petedge.com/library/library.jsp?pageName=se_clipperbladeuse . There are differences. Not all bichon's are created equal. The hair/fur of bichons vary. I have 3 and each has very different hair, what works with one doesn't necessarily work with the other. Each blade is designed with different capabilities. A broken blade, throw it away, period. See if you can accomplish the cut you want with your current blades. Read about blades capabilities, it's helpful. I found that visiting professional groomers and asking them questions about the different blades to be used on a specific breed to be very informative. You'll find groomers to be very willing to be helpful!

I have the larger size 'WildSide' jar using the single wing-tip blade. It's probably called the 4-inch blade because it measures about 3 3/4" across. This machine performs better than any kitchen appliance I've ever used, and I use it every day! If it quit now I would immediately get another one just like it.

Everything I read when I was choosing a pinch collar seemed to favor a smaller link rather than a larger one. I use a 3mm link with my Golden Retriever and I probably could have gone with a 2.5. I would just order extra links.

There are 3 different blades. Size 10, a 7FC, and a 4FC. Wonderful small unit and keeps our dogs trimmed up looking great.

Robert, the 7FC is 3/8 inch, perfect for my poodles in the summer. Size 10 is the shortest one I use for faces, feet and tail of my poodles but you can go as short as a 40 which is "shaved." The larger the number the shorter it will cut the hair. If you look at the different blades, the length should be given for each one. The CeramicEdge is supposed to stay cooler longer, but to be honest, I can't tell a difference between it and the regular stainless blade, and I think the stainless ones cut better. I do like the Andis clipper. It is fairly light weight and changing the blades is a snap. (This site gives the length and usages for each of the different blades: https://www.andis.com/download/allBlades_chart.pdf Hope that helps.)

I think a #10 comes with it, which almost skins them. I use a #7 for a short cut on my small dogs, not sure that dog size matters. if my dogs behaved better I would use the #10 on their bellies...

Hello Congrats on the new puppy. The 4 inch would be good to start with but he will grow and the 10 inch will be needed. We have a Goldendoodle and we bought the 10 inch after she was a year old. It really makes it easier for her to eat. This is a great product and it is the best looking one out there.It will last a long time,well worth the money.I bought it when it was on sale. Cant remember how much I saved but I think it was $10 to $20 dollars. I hope this helped you.

I have a "morkie" and I use a 7 on her. Works great! If the hair is really thick use a 5 skip tooth first ( but finish with the 7)

Hi there, The "C" in 4FC is for the CERAMIC blade. I personally do not prefer these blades. The cut is not as smooth I feel but the blade is supposed to stay sharper longer. It boils down to personal preference. You may want to give it a try...hope this helps :)

Not sure as I have a 20-blade for my English Cockers that works very well. Guess I'd suggest the 12 over the 10, but not entirely sure.

I don't know which size would work best for your dog, but I would advise against planning to "cut to size". I have tried doing that and it was very hard and frustrating even using garden shears.

You will need to look closely at the postings. They have many different blades in many different depths/lengths. For example the standard blade most often used (to shave a dog, or if you just want a "Military Look") is the #10 blade that cuts to 1.5mm (1/16"). I use it on my dogs but wanted a bit more length for my own hair, so 5FC cuts to 6.3mm (1/4") and 4FC cuts to 9.5 mm (3/8") length. The info is in all the ones I looked at so far, but you do have to look around some and enlarging the picture can help because its printed on the actual blades in mm's the English conversions can take a bit more work ;-) You will need to look closely at the postings.

I think you would be OK with the smaller one- I have a larger one and a smaller one and I like the smaller one for my kitties and also for the faces of my big dogs. I think the blue one will work just fine for your pup!!

Hi Caryl, this is Benebone the seller. We have a new smaller bone coming out in the coming months. For a heavy chewer, we recommend the larger size for safety. But we are excited about the smaller one. You can always order it and if it doesn't work out we will refund you. Best, Peter at Benebone

The answer is that the easy clip that comes with the 3 blades is NOT compatible with any other blades. That's why you need to go to the Jeffers Pet site and order those blades. They have a smaller foot than the regular blades you would buy in the open market. They will not fit the easy clip!

This is a courser cut then the original blade yours came with. It does work well but is better for terriers if used without a comb. These do seem to last much longer, and stay sharper then the original "fine" cut blade... Hope that helps Elizabeth. :)

The four is better it's much sturdier. The 3 I found was awful going over breaks in the sidewalks and eneven grounds. Much happier when I bought the 4. I have 2 Chi's that are far too spoiled to walk very far:)
