Andis Outliner Armature Adjustment
Vložit

- This trimmer is a modified Andis Outliner. In this video, I adjust the armature and tension fork. These adjustments need to be made throughout the life of the clipper and blade to make the blade travel 100% and hit the hardest, keeping those lines extra crisp!
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 20+ years. Most of my career was spent working as a technician at an authorized Andis, Oster, and Wahl service center. 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 have the ability to sharpen any hair clipper blade using actual diamond (1500 grit) on a machine that was designed and engineered by my Grandfather, providing a smoother, polished finish.

Thanks finally solved my loud noise problem
Thanks for watching
Audience, Great job Sir. You've explained in good details...
Took me hours to get this right. It’s exactly what you said about everything being in sync when adjusting these clippers. You have to find your way around. Every t outliner is different I have 4 more to do.... 🤦♂️
Thanks so much

Thanks!!!!
k fro np. Thanks for watching.
Damn bro u really good at this lol. Respect ✊
armando moreno thank you and thank you for watching. 😊
Factory position sucked on my new GTX t's!
pnojazz you'll have to adjust them or send back for warranty.
my t outliners would turn on, but after a while of using it, it turns off by itself. I would then let it sit for a while unplugged, and I'll give it a go and its up and running. But it does the same thing of shutting off by itself again while I use it, this gets me very upset because I don't know how to fix it and there is no tutorials to fix this on Google or CZcams and I figured you were the perfect person to ask after watching this video.
The cord has a short in it or the blade needs oil.
saludos,ala andis gtx también se puede hacer esos ajustes,como aflojar esos tornillos como indica la flecha en el vídeo.
Great Video! What if you turn on your Trimmer and it doesn't turn right? Sometimes it's on the manufacturer. I use WD 40.
joecool97 hello. Thanks. Send back for warranty if it doesn't turn right. Thanks for watching.
How did you solve the noisy problem? This trimmer works very very loud!
Adjust them with the with the ball of the fork at the upper part of the cutter. With 2 pounds of pressure and if that does not fix the noice it'll need to be sharpened to resurface it and put the correct pattern to insure it to cut correctly. Thank you watching
Great vid and channel! question...i notice the newer andis trimmers are lacking those 2 screws with the bolt. its two flushed screws now. how do you adjust the arm now?
I have not seen a new one because they are all still in warranty. To be honest you can not even use those 2 screws and just use the nut to hold in place. The 2 screws just help but if they are gone now, they probably just rivet it on. Thanks for watching and i hope i answered your question correctly.
won't the corners of the blade cut client if you move arm too much too on side
+adrian haynes Yes it will. If the teeth go over the comb. This was an armature video Not fixing the tension fork, that is what it says in the description. Do you need to know how to adjust the blade?
+Cloud's Diamond Sharpening
I was talking about the cutting blade if you move the arm to much one way the cutting blade won't be center with comb blade anymore cause cutting if you use the corner of the blade to go around the ear or neck area??
adrian haynes Yes it can if the cutter blade is too far over. You can loosen the blade screws and slide it over to where that cutter doesnt go over the comb. If you cant adjust it good enough by moving the blade then you will need to adjust the tension fork.
+Cloud's Diamond Sharpening
OK thanks for everything
Thank you, so much man! I will be in the shop today and will try my best to do the exact same thing! I've never had a great youtuber with such knowledge to do a requested video for me. I'll give you a update once I try this! Honestly, thanks again. What's your instagram or Facebook?

Why does mine shoot sparks after I turn it off and it’s hot
I can't tell you without looking at it but I wouldn't use it. It's unsafe. An outliner shouldn't get hot, maybe just warm.
do you still adjust andis trimmers
Of course!
Just bought some blackout Andis T Outliners. Instead of the 2 screws at the bottom, they're flat rivets. To move the armature, you need to take those out. Any idea on how to take them out?
Alan Q you shouldn't have to remove or adjust. I recommend sending back for warranty. but i adjust them with the center bolt.
I have a question, I have a regular grey T-Outliner and a GTX that I got sharpened and serviced. They were solid for a couple of weeks, then all of the sudden they seemed to loose a lot of power to the point where the blade isn’t even moving. I spray it down and oil it and runs really good with power for a little and then does the same thing? What’s the solutions for them? How long do outliners last, or do they ever get bad.
hello. It sounds like the blade is dull. Blades go dull and need to be resharpened or the trimmer needs to be readjusted. I recommend having multiple blades. The trimmer can always be fixed.
I just bought some new liners and they only have the nut in the middle where the 2 screws are is circular metal pieces
+adrian haynes I'm sorry, I don't understand. The two screws that hold blade fork are riveted instead of screws?
+Cloud's Diamond Sharpening yes
+adrian haynes Interesting. Thanks for telling me.
+Cloud's Diamond Sharpening yeah no problem I guess adjusting the arm is a one nut move now
+adrian haynes Ya. Now if the fork gets bent to bad or broken it cant be replaced but you still can replace the whole armature with that piece riveted on.
What about the newer GTX? They don't have screws to adjust the armature.
Poker Face you shouldn't need to adjust the armature but the middle bolt should adjust it. I usually never adjust an armature unless someone messes with it. unless it makes a rattle sound going into hair is the only reason to adjust it.
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening Thanx
hey, love your videos! i adjusted my newly sharpened blades, and they are cutting, but they are pulling bad. what did i do? thanks!!!!
+Jessica Martin Thanks. Im glad you enjoyed. why did you have to adjust newly sharpened blades? It could be that your clippers tension is to loose to hold the blade together.
I had dropped them and chipped the blade so i got a new one, put it on and it wouldn't cut, finally got them to cut, but now they are just pulling pretty bad. I will try and tighten the tension. I also bagged it into the case, and bent the arms just a little like you showed. Thanks again! !
+Jessica Martin Alot of new blades are not very sharp. I call it factory sharp bc a machine sharpens them and where i once worked, customers buy new blades and then have me sharpen them out of the package. It could just simply need to be sharpened. Or when you dropped you might have bent something. Well good luck and hope i help you figure out your problem.
Jessica Martin NP and thanks for watching
if the tension spring was bent due to a fall, then bent back, is it still possible to adjust the clipper? or do you need to purchase a new tension spring
callmetagno you can adjust it if it's not broken. The spring is no longer available. So if the spring is broken you will have to order the armature.
appreciate it, the spring is not broken i got the clippers about a month ago so i'm gonna try to adjust it myself. Thanks again, vids are great
was able to adjust the spring and find the right tension. works perfectly now. Thanks!
My arm has only the middle screw the end two look like rivets
atardy12 there is rivets now on the new style outliner.
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening Oh, my top blade where you set the half moon seems for left. Is that normal?
atardy12 try to loosen the blade from the trimmer and slide it over until the cutter is in the middle of the comb blade. unless the trimmer is making a loud hitting sound or weak, you shouldn't need to adjust the armature.
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening thanks for the quick response. Great video
I'm trying to decide between an Andis T-outliner VS. Andis superliner which one you choose for balding and line ups?
Rio hello, the superliners have a rotary motor. That's good for power but there are no parts available. The blades of the super liner are on a guide that pivots so you can't adjust them with ease. The metal of the superliners blade is softer so it might not stay sharp as long. The outliners are adjusted easier and have all parts available thru the manufacturer. So I pick the Andis G Outliners for quality and parts availability But I'm also not a barber. I hope I helped and thanks for watching.
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening nice..thanx...I asked a barber and he said the same thing from a cosmetic stand point the Andis T outliner is better. Appreciate it man...Im about to buy it do you think buying it brand new that it would need adjusting?..if i wanted my liner done like the one in your video do you help out Canadians.
Lol?
Rio I can do it. But it will be alot in shipping. For better details please visit www.diamondedge2015.com
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening ok cool thx
I did my adjustments but my tension screw touches the bottom of the neck so it's scrapping for some reason as if the screw is too long... any ideas on why that could be?
Isaiah Sims Hi. its probably BC your fork is bent. you will have to buy a new one or bend the fork pad up to be able to back the tension off. the flat part of the fork where the tension screw goes in needs to be bent up.
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening yeaa man that's what I was thinking, buying some new trimmers but imma try to adjust the pad some more and see how it goes
Isaiah Sims I might have a video to help you. here's one but I have more look through my videos. czcams.com/video/KcHK37KTSqc/video.html
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening thanx imma check it out
I love your videos. But you should use a nut driver to loosen that nut instead of those pliers. You know your stuff and seem to do good work. Why not use right tool for the type fastener and look like the pro you are.
Well thank you. I don't use a nut driver because this was a requested video and i do these for free. Then have to edit it and still keep up with my real work. Plus i was helping someone that probably don't have a nut driver and everyone has a pair of pliers. But thanks for watching and have a nice day.
Do you still sharpen blades
Hello. Yes I do.
Do you zero gab the clippers too
Alyssa Llanas I set them correctly. I do not set them to leave razor burn or bumps.
Ok thanks will check it out do you do modified blades to r no
Np. No i am sorry. i do not modify blades
Have you work for the Andis company in Racine Wisconsin on Route 20
No but I worked for a Andis service center for 16 years
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 it seems to me that you know your s*** about blades and repairing of Clippers. Yeah I used to live in the Milwaukee area and out of curiosity I drove by the Racine headquarters of Andis. Great videos
Np. Im glad you enjoyed my videos. That must have been cool to see the andis factory. 😁 Thank for watching
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 well actually it was just a drive-by sir
hey do u sell modified t outliners? like maybe in ebay?
Jek Lee no sorry but you can buy one and I can modify for you.
i wonder if i can make a tattoo gun on it
I'm sure of it. Might be awkward to hold BC it will be a bigger Field. More power but it be heavy.
Haha it have the same part on tattoo gun maybe just make a frame 😁 but nice video on there
Thanks and thanks for watching.
