- Had to use an old method to Zero-Gap the new Andis Cordless Masters since they don't come with an easy zero gapping tool or the ability to easily gap them with out modifying the bracket.
This was a great hack brought life back to my masters I bent the shelve part and it's now Zero gapped, thanks again.!
Glad you could use it bro!
To zero gap the original masters you shouldn’t have to break the metal piece on the back of the blade. Just take off the face plate, loosen the two screws that keep the bottom blade holder in place. You should be able to move the bottom blade up to zero gap the clippers.
Edwin Clark on many of them that’s all you had to do but for the ones I’ve owned and set for others this was the solution. Even with the cordless version it was the same way.
@@Christopher_Minnieweather you can order that slide plate by itself... It's like $7 at my clipper parts shop..
@@swizzlecuts5004 do they have a website where I can order?
@@Nicabarber www.clipperrepair.com. they have all the diagrams and literally EVERY replaceable part for most clippers...
@@Christopher_Minnieweather hello respond to zero gap new Andis Master cordless clippers I don't have to break a part that causes the blade to be zero-gap
I just got the corded version of the Masters. All you have to do is ever sp slightly adjust the 2 star screws in the face or guts of it. They'll zero out easily.
Is it a true zero gap or is it just close?
It's a true Zero Gap. Just ever so slightly stick a flat object behind the plates that the 2 screws are holding, and they will Zero out. Be careful they'll Zero to the point of Sergical Cutting lol
@@alonzobradley2016 maybe it's on the new pairs now? Back in the day they'd get close but not zero for taking out bald lines
Nope they Zero out now and cut way better. You can do an entire cut without guides... And help out you Edgers more buy pre edging with the Andis Corded Masters now.
Thank you bro seriously easy to do with your video, I used some old pliers bend it back little little and after careful eye to gapping finally got it these are straight hitter and they sont cut either your a great person for this video gained a subscriber👍🙏
Nica Barber thank you bro glad I could help out. Hopefully I can continue to bring value to our industry. Please subscribe if you haven’t. God bless!
My boy pulled out the weed scale right quick Hahaha🤑🤣
Juan Chavez come on man😂😂😂
Now we just need a cordless Fast Feeds Clippers
Oster seems to have found there market and it’s not with barbers. It’s like they are cool with not having any new and innovative products. As long as stylist/cosmos are buying and using they are perfectly fine🤷🏾♂️
I have heard the Caliber 50 cal come the closest to a cordless fast feed.
@@infamous1ao I need that ceramic blade for them 50 cals
@@infamous1ao The 50s are magnetic tho... I tried them at the Tennessee Expo and they can cut thru industrial carpet.. and I think they have a 4 hour run time
Companies should just make zero gap clippers
The real way to fix that without breaking that piece off is when you take off your blade there’s a little pin sticking up which moves the slider back-and-forth. When you move the lever you’re going to see in the middle under the blade is a little pin sticking up. If you wanted to move more you take a screwdriver put it on the pin and then tap it with a hammer lightly down like a millimeter. If you want it the opposite because it’s moving to far you take a needle nose pliers and you pull the pin out slightly
Do you feel like it has the same power as the corded version? Like do you have to go over spots more often and detail more with it being cordless? Also do you feel its necessary to have the lever go up farther like that? I have my original masters zero gapped but I did it the more traditional way by opening the base of the clipper and pushing the bracket up. Curious on your thoughts I might try having my lever like that if its better.
Michael Almonte thanks for watching bro. They definitely are very powerful I don’t have to keep going over the haircut. It’s also powerful enough to easily go through nappy haircuts that haven’t been combed out. As far as the zero gap goes if you are taking the bald line out with your current method of gapping then you don’t need it. It seems like some masters are easy to gap without this mod. For my masters corded and cordless I had to do it like this to getting that close. Hope that helps!
@@Christopher_Minnieweather Hmm I mean mine doesnt perfectly pick up the bald line it leaves a slight line if i tried it with it but if you use my method which is to first do the skin line with another clipper example i use my cordless seniors to do the skin line and then i just use trimmers and balder underneath and it blends all perfectly into the masters. Keep the videos coming bro! So would you say its worth the price tag?
The company's should be listening to the barbers, they know we want to zero gap our tools so why not be more innovative....especially since andis has had the opportunity to see what the other companies have done
My thoughts exactly
Nice bro i didnt know that💪🏽abt those clippers. Ima try it. i have the Andis Master corded. Im thinking abt getting the cordless one,💪🏽
Yessir. I love my masters but the cordless aren't quite as good as the corded in my honest opinion
@@Christopher_Minnieweather 💪🏽 Oh yea wow i always think abt it, i dont know how good they are, and its crazy it so Expencive just bcuz is Cordless🤦♂️, but the old one its the Best to use for skin fade. Its cuts really close, its so close u can hear the hair cutting.
Hey if I pay you for that piece with it already broken, how much would it cost? Or is there any shop or store I can take my current pair to get that piece broken?
I’m currently not aware of where you can pick that piece up but if I hear something I’ll let you know
If you break that piece off soon or later the Pin will slip down or break. Then you won't be able to adjust the blade at all.
Dean Dacus not true the corded masters you see in this video are my first pair fin barberschool. 10 years ago. Never had that type of issue you mentioned
Can I just take a neadle nose plyers and bend it back without taking blade apart ?
Ray L I believe so bro. Just move the blade up!
@@Christopher_Minnieweather I'll give it a try just use the tip of the needle nose pliers and kind of bend it back a little bit
@@Christopher_Minnieweather Many Thanks
@@Christopher_Minnieweather gently bend it back a little
Hey bro I’ve gone through the steps u showed , clipped the stopper off an original corded masters . Everything seems to be functioning properly except that now it’s going way past 0 ! I can’t get it to stop flush .. any advice ?
Manuel Tavares when you set them make sure that it is past 0 and then set the blade with it all the way closed.
Thanks for watching
Ok I’m setting the blade to 0 , but screws won’t tighten enough to keep the setting permanent
Not sure what you are doing wron in the process make sure to really tighten it. That shouldn’t be an issue.
Same happening to me. Did u find a wa at to fix issue Manuel taveras
Just because you may have paid 300, doesn’t mean they cost 300. Every video.. They are the same as the wahl 1919 when they came out. And those couldn’t 0 gap. So why is this a controversy?
Jane Doe it’s not a controversial topic. Simply stating my opinion. Babyliss is on the rise because they have built a team of barbers and friends on the industry that test there products give feedback and the company applies the information. Andis has yet to reach out to barbers in the industry to see what the industry desires and needs.
Zip it Jane doe
james poole I won’t. And andis has been testing the cordless masters for I think 2 years with barbers, so... and I believe babyliss is on the rise because of hype, not product. It’s pretty easy to tell when someone is a shill hyping new babyliss and they have their aprons and grips and other accessories.
The man was just stating his opinion no need to be smart ass about It ...just don't watch the video...and I love all my babyliss lol stop being a hater all your life ..it is what it is
They too loud. Other than that they’re good
Facts
what setup do you have on your 1919's?? it looks like a gold fx setup with the black graphite blade and gold still blade. is that right or did you do something else?? any help would be appreciated thanks!
I have the wahl legends bracket on there so it can be zero gapped which also gives you longer cutting range. It’s Not as long as the masters but longer then other wahls or Babyliss clippers. You are correct about the blades. Babyliss uses the wahl blade system. The blade sizes are exactly the same that is why you can use wahl guards on Babyliss and vice versa.hope that helps!
Did you have to use the metal bracket from the old andis masters? What if you don't have another master to skeletonize ?
Ray L I didn’t have to use anything from the other masters if I didn’t want to. You can bend or break that back piece on your current version to get it to do so
@@Christopher_Minnieweather thank you very much Much appreciated
No problem
So now on these new ones you just reviewed you don’t have to do this?
The mod is for the masters not the trimmers
Oh I got you! They aren’t the same line of tool. I’m trying to catch on! Trying to pay attention.
what system of fading is easier Wahl or Andis guard system
Nicholas Challita I believe it’s a personal preference. I learned on the masters in barberschool so that’s what I’m most comfortable with. I see guys that learned on wahls so that’s there go to clipper. For me it takes a little more work to achieve the type of look that I can create with my masters.
are the Gold babyliss better than the cordless masters
I can’t say what’s better. It’s a preference thing. I learned on masters in barberschool and so that’s what I’m most comfortable using. I’ve been learning and trying to perfect my whal and Babyliss skills more so within the last few years. I’ve always used what’s with no guard then switch to masters to finish the cut after that point. I never just did the whole cut with only wahls back then. But I can say I love all 3 clippers each brand came with there A game. The Babyliss motor is better and newer technology I must say though. Both whal and Babyliss also have bigger batteries. Whal has 2200mah Babyliss 2100mah and Cordless masters only has 1400mah
Hey my brother I just subscribed, my cordless and is master won’t charge what do u think could be wrong with them
Sorry I missed this question. Not sure exactly the issue how long have you had them now? A year or less than a year? Thanks for the sub my guy
So you just flipped the piece around ?
No I broke the lip off of the piece
No I broke the lip off of the piece
I enjoyed your comments from the Las Vegas show on the educational aspects. From years back .The hands on education was set up set up separately so all those time with your selected Barber stylist would be address including models or manikins. Very good reflecting for show.

Thank you so much for watching. Going to check your site out now
Zero gapped mines it's been eating my guards up😳
What guards you use? Speedo red guards?
It's kinda eating my guards up too. When I close the lever , I have the andis magnetic purple guards, is there a way to fix this problem?
What did you use to break that piece off?
A pair of needle nose pliers. Thanks for watching
Camera is Bad men
I know sorry. Much better quality since then. Let me know what you think about more videos.
Hey bro where you get them red fx clippers? Been looking for them but cant find them.
Have you checked on the Babyliss site? Or cosmoprof? I bought mine at Las Vegas barber expo. You have to get out and hit these shows. There’s always good pickups
@@Christopher_Minnieweather thank you bro I appreciate it !
These shits loud as hell. Not feeling them right now.
What’s loud my guy???
For 300 bucks you still got to modified it to make it work properly damn....
azvent602 swagphx602 sad to say but yes
Thats every clipper though idk any clipper that you use straight out the box and its good
The babyliss cordless you don’t have to and it gets the bald line out.
@@qgiftedhands hmm not sure my gold fx clipper i never tried it out the box i zero gap all my clippers asap. Its easy i dont see why anyone wouldnt.
They aren’t 300.
Wait so long for andis to drop a turd.. they should be ashamed..
They are actually a good clipper. Just could have added a couple things to make them perfect
