- Hi, my name is Nick George with Clouds Diamond Sharpening. I'm a professional technician who has been working on hair cutting tools and equipment for the last 20 years. I specialize in hair clipper blade sharpening, scissor/shear sharpening, hair clipper repair and much more! My clipper blade sharpening process is unique as I use a special grinding wheel with a specific geometrical pattern that was designed by my Grandfather which gives me the ability to be able to sharpen any hair clipper blade using actual diamond (1500 grit), which provides a smoother, polished finish. I can repair any hair clipper on the market as long as parts are made available through the manufacturer. I also sharpen a variety of different types of scissors/shears (beveled, convex, semi-convex, chunkers, thinning, fabric, surgical, pinking, etc.)

Good rather recent video. Shipped my blades off to you after shopping around.. Love the family history of 3 generations in blade sharpening.
Send in here folks - send your blades to them.
Hello thank you for the compliment. I make sure everything Cuts great before it leaves. And thank you for being a great customer. If you ever get the time please leave a Google review. Have a nice day
Interesting and unusual video Nick. Thanks!
Hello. No problem and thank you for watching.
I own a mobile pet grooming service in Dallas. We have hired Nick in the past and he's the real deal. All of my groomers love the results. If you are in the DFW area use Cloud's Diamond Sharpening.
nick thanks for sharing .. very informative thanks for sharing with us .. be safe
You are welcome and thank you for watching and you be safe also
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you
Hello thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching. Keep it Sharp and please subscribe for more educational videos
very well explained, my friend sharpened his clipper blades for sheeps on a flat block, said it didnt work alright, now I know why.
Thank you.
It makes sense to have the right tools for the job. I know the company Nebraska blades makes a sharpener that can do the job right, very expensive :)
Thanks for watching! In all honesty, buying a commercial machine is the easy part. Learning to sharpen blades correctly with consistency is the biggest hurdle to jump.
So educative, thanks
LOVE IT !!
Well, that's more than I ever wanted to know about sharpening but it was very interesting. Thanks for putting it up.
Lol. Thank you for watching. 😃
Thank you for sharing this! I'm going to start professionally clipping horses and I was wondering why so many get their blades sharpened by someone else.
Hello, greetings from Argentina! a query what aluminum alloy is the disc?
Where can I purchase this sharpener?
I respect anyone that's a master of his craft! Very nice video and I hope it continues to bring you business!
Hello I love spreading my knowledge of what I know to others. Please subscribe and learn about your equipment and everything I know. Thank you for watching
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 I thought I did but thanks for reminding me! I sharpen kitchen knives but it took the resurgence of hand crafted knives to bring back the need for the professional sharpener. I share your pain in a fading industry but if we stopped being wasteful and taking care of the equipment we buy, then we can definitely stay relevant.
I have used this company and they do a great job...I'n from Texas
Thank you I'm glad you like my services. And thank you for watching
I can see that this truly is a craft. A lot more to it than meets the eye! Thanks for the education.
I'm curious as to differences between blades for animals and humans and if they require different sharpening methods.
Thanks for watching.
Good working
Thanks for watching!
Hey Nick can you make a video on how to clean blades properly before and after sharpening.
Hello, im sorry but i do not train. Thank you for watching.
Es verdaderamente sorprendente como solucionaste con un plato recubierto de diamante ..calculo que es borazon ..no estar cargando todo el tiempo el plato con grit ..el adehesivo ..etc etc.. felicitaciones.
Gracias por las amables palabras. ¡Aprecio que te tomes el tiempo para ver mis videos!
Thank you for taking the time to show how the blades are properly profiled. I made the mistake of flat sharpening a few on sand paper as instructed by another your be video and it is amazing how they can be passed through hair and cut next to nothing.
Np. Im sorry you had to ruin your blades and thanks go watching.
good afternoon friend, take a question please ... The spring pressure is made by these two screws, which hold the blades? and how much pressure do I have to give, is there any method? thank you very much.
The spring pressure is addressed on the tension spring for detachable blades. For adjustable blades, you'll have to address the armature usually. All depends on design. The screws don't address this.
I have been looking to buy a clipper machine sharpener like this , anyway or idea if I can buy one . Thanks from Australia
I've been looking for the name of this machine for a while. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on what they are called. Or at least I can't find one.
Hi please advice where to buy the machine
hey. thank you for your sharing great valuable demonstration. I have questions about your clipper sharpening lapping disk. Is it your lapping disk surface is true? and or crown? or tap shaped? tiny round? what they called? what's your rpm speed? what's your diamond coated grit? also for human hair clipper blade and animal clipper blade sharpening is different way to sharpening? just using same lapping disk? please let us know. thanks
Hello. Is a convex pattern. Diamond coating. But this is not a training video. This video is to educate that blocks are not good to use. There are some sharpeners out there that do train and will give you answers to your questions. I'm sorry I can't help you and thank you for watching and have a nice day
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 thank you. all the best
Thank you showing this what is best way to sharpen hair trimmer blade im a barber real shap
The best way is to have them done professionally. Trimming blades are thinner and don't leave a lot of room for error.
Hi dear George, thanks for a humble disclosure and enlightenment. Please what material is made up of the wheel or hone that you're using?
Hi, Richard. Thanks for watching! I use a few different wheels. They are constructed of different materials based on what I'm working on. As for my custom wheels, it's a family secret :)
Hello sir. Nice video. But I could nt understand the use of Marker. Please explain
Accurate 👌

Thanks for the video. About how many times can a andis t trimmer blade be sharpened before it has to be replaced?
It will vary. Taking care of the blades (cleaning, oiling, storage, etc.) usually will be the biggest factor in determining how long the blade will last. When sharpening a well cared for blade, minimal metal is removed. If a blade is continuously used with issues, not only will it affect the blades life, but also the clippers.
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 Thank you, my father was a barber for more than 40 years.When passed away I got a box with all of his old equipment. One of the trimmers is a Andis t trimmer outlined. It is about 10 years old but still works great. THE switch needs tightened but thatbis about it. New blades are only $20.00. I notice the blades are dull. I can get a brand new unit for around $60.00. Due to the age of the trimmers, wear and tear over the years. Is it better to service the trimmers or just buy a new pair?
Where did you get the wheel I have a Aluminum wheel but would like to up grade to one like yours but can't find one in 16 inch.
Hello. I'm sorry I'm not quite sure. My uncle gets them

Great video. I've been cutting hair over 35 years and I knew none of this.
Hello. You are welcome and thank you for watching
Hi Nick, I want to as ask, can aluminium wheel sharpen all types of clipper blade ?
I sharpened some blade and they appeared correctly . Out of that Someone also brought his clippers to sharpen 4 him, this time I did but the blades couldn't cut hairs and the client was annoyed. That is why I'm asking you this question.
Thank you dear.
Clipper blades vary and different mediums are used depending on the situation. There are too many variables to consider when determining why a blade won't cut. However, the wheel itself isn't as important as the expertise and experience of the sharpener.

Do u apply the same pressure in the same parts for the comb and the cutter?
It varies. It depends on the blade.

I have a question outside the scope of this video ASM I don't even know if you still check this channel, but do you know the best way to get hold of mobile sharpeners? I'm trying to track down people willing to come to my shop and sharpen for all my groomers and it's not an easy endeavor I'm learning.
There are some good mobile sharpeners out there but they're hard to find. Because they are usually not online. If you do a Google searching can't find any. There might not be any around. My dad was a mobile sharpener and he was not online.
What's the thing called after u sharpen the blade u rub it or grind it against and it shows you the pattern that u just sharpened the blade weather it's the shape u made with the sharpie marker or some other shape? What's that thing called ?
In the industry, it's normally referred to as a test / rubbing block.
❤ how can I get these machines ?

Hey do your resharpened blades cut better and last longer than factory since you use s diamond wheel
Diamond provides a smoother finish. My wheel is designed to cut a shape into the blade that promotes longevity. However, user maintenance and using the tools properly have a lot to do with how long an edge lasts. I sharpen new blades as an additional quality control step due to experience with new blades not lasting long or not cutting at all. If you used my service, and took care of your equipment properly, then yes, I'd say you have a better chance of the blade lasting longer and cutting smoother.
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 I'll send some blades to you for testing when i get back off Monday
What would be a good budget machine for doing this? Most of the ones I see are in the high 800 all the way up to 1800
Most professional machines are going to cost around 2000$. I wouldn't trust a budget machine. The machine however is 20% of the equation. The skill of the sharpener is the other 80%. Consider this before making a purchase.
Where do u apply pressure on the blade while u hold it togl get that circle or ball shaped pattern? Is it the same for the t liner blade? And what speed do u use and does the speed make a big difference ?
All blades are different and there's a variety of approaches to take depending on the blade. Speed varies as well.
So what do you do for clipper blades and t liners?
@@wildlifeent415 every blade is different. You have detachable blades, trimming blades, adjustable blades etc. There are a lot of factors involved such as the shape that's already on the blade before sharpening, size of blade, wear and tear, etc. The shape that the wheel can produce is consistent on every blade, but the speed that's used, diamond vs oxide, pressure points on blade when sharpening, etc. all factor in to the process.
where do you buy the diamond sharpening wheel
This one is family-owned and I am not in the position to distribute it. I am sorry
show guys thanks
Thanks for watching!
What is the main reason why clipper blades wont cut very well if the comb and blade faces are flat rather than slightly concave ?
Hello. Flat is dull. You can try concave and if it doesn't work, then try beveled or convex. If you do it correctly then it'll work. Thanks for watching
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 Thank you for responding. How would you expect to see brand a pair of brand new clipper blades? e.g. any Wahl blades. Should the surfaces not be flat? I'm trying to understand how these blades actually cut.
What's the thing that shows u the patter called I want to buy one?
Testing block
when using that platter ginder how do you compensate for the different abrasion rate→the outer edge of the wheel cuts faster/more than the center of the wheel does. You can get a flat surface but the thickness of the blade will vary slightly from edge to edge. How does that affect the tension between the cutting edges?
Our plates do not create a flat profile but rather a specific shape. The tension is consistent across the blade.
I'm not sure what you mean "a specific shape". Is the platter not flat? Does it not cut faster at the outer edge compared to the center?@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973

Machine name

Can sharpening make my cheap clipper work better? I bought a secondhand Wahl to trim my cat, and it just slides over her fur. It hardly cuts anything. She’s a fluffy cat with very fine hairs, and sanitary trims are $50 plus a car ride she hates.
You probably need a clipper with detachable blades bc wahl clippers are more for human bc and cant hold tension so your clippers are just pushing hair away. The tension on a detachable blade is on the blade and u can use different sizes. So they wont push hair away as bad.
Why wont some sharpeners sharpen ceramic blades? Are they fragile and snap in half?
Sharpening ceramic requires different equipment than what's needed for sharpening steel. Not so much the machines themselves but the medium that is used. There aren't as many ceramic blades on the market as steel so sometimes it's not cost effective to buy the proper equipment for a blade you see every now and then. We see a lot of them because we advertise the ability to sharpen them properly, but they're not as common as steel blades for the average sharpener.
And I must admit frankly, that I don't know the names of your equipment/ tools. I'm new in the system. Kindly give me the names. Thank you.

Hi Nick, I have a few questions regarding the Oster Fast Feed and possibly modifying them to become cordless and wireless
1) Is it possible to modify a corded Oster fast feed clipper by changing the AC Pivot Motor to a DC Magnetic Motor (a DC Magnetic Motor from a Wahl Cordless Senior preferably)
2) Is it possible to solder in an 18650, 20700 or 21700 battery in the clipper, connected directly to the DC Magnetic Motor
3) Wireless modification, or Wireless PCB attachment and connected to the 18650, 20700 or 21700 battery.
4) essentially modify and create a personal wireless Oster Fast Feed clipper
Note: I believe this has been achieved however I was wondering how tough of a job it would possibly be? And what it would potentially require
No you will need a pcb to convert to ac to DC to be able to use a battery
