Oster Fast Feed / Oster Speed Line Clipper - How to Zero Gap - Custom Blade 

I did the method of cutting the metal piece to slide the cutting blade higher, but what you did was straight genius! When my fine tooth gives out i will mos def get my detachable

No, you will just have to get another number 1 blade because the teeth are shorter. Thank you for watching, if you ever have any questions, please ask. good luck with everything.

Thank a million bro I'm over here stressing like dang I can't zero gap these clipper for nothing since you show me this way I will just order my blade off of Amazon in have my clipper guy zero gap it for me the reason why I'm not doing it myself I'm only able to use one hand right now I had a stroke 5 years ago bro

Tried and True. Thank you Mr. Warren!

Thanx for the info. Now my fast feed are on point. Bless

Yes, I have instructional videos on my website LearnToCut

Thank you for watching and commenting. My instagram is @DaveKingLosAngeles_Gcasso

wow, man this is the best tip ever..

Thank you, I appreciate you and I am glad I was able to help you. Its great to know that you had the video in barber school and now you are a true professional. Keep staying ahead of the game and continue to be the best barber you can be.

Thank you bro, I appreciate you, stay tuned more videos are on the way.

Thank you for watching, Im glad I could help. I have more videos coming soon, stay tuned and good luck with your business.

I'm gonna try out....can't hurt....thanks for the info

Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate your wise words. Give it a try, the blade does great work.

Great tip, thank you much! Another tip for those who use Andis clippers is swapping the 22 tooth bottom cutting blade from an Andis Master with the 28 tooth cutting blade of a Fade Master. This is an awesome combination. Peace!

The teeth on the speed line top blade are thinner so the precision is better.

Thank you Dave, I switched the cutting blades on these two clippers and I'm seeing a significant difference in my fades and tapers. I appreciate the knowledge. Keep it up king.

Thanks Dave, this simple to do. Since I've done it I noticed that it's cutting much smoother. I can now remove lines out of my fades. Good work. Thanks.

Thank you for watching, I appreciate your wise words. The magnetic guards actually work much better when the blade is set this way. You will notice a much closer cut and the guards won't get damaged at all. Stay tuned , more videos are coming very soon.

Just tried it with the ultraedge and the blade doesn't seem to move when the screws are tightened. I'll try it with the 76 blade like you, thanks for the vid again

Thanks, David. I've been wanting to modify my fast feeds for a closer cut, but I didn't want chop or file my new clippers like some of these guys do. this is the ticket!

Thank you for watching you might be able to purchase the cutting blade separately, check with oster. I use a cannon they make great cameras. I appreciate your comment I have more videos coming soon, stay tuned.

Thank you my friend, i appreciate your wise words, enjoy your new blade...

Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad to help, stay tuned I have more videos coming very soon.

Thank you for watching, you willstill have plenty of room to move the lever up and down for great blends.

Wow that was easy! Thanks for sharing...

Thank you for watching, it would be better if you purchased another #1 blade.

WoW! Basically is Nuff said! This was an awesome tip man! I just finished the cutting method & didn't like what I saw so, I came back to youtube & saw your video! Fortunately, I just purchased the rapid fires with the 1 blade in it so switching was simple! My fast feeds are right where I need them to be now! Thanks to you! I am in Barber school right now & this is something that I can pass on to other students! Thanks again man! Floyd

Thank you for watching, give it a try.

thanku so much

Thank you for watching. You need to use an Oster blade.

Good deal. Thanks

Thank you for watching, I appreciate your comment. Peace

Thanks Homie, Just so you know I did buy your Dvd 5yrs ago when I was in Barber school,And it help out back then

Thank you for watching.

could completely swap both blades by putting speedline cutting blade on the oster 1blade

so i did this to my sped lines and i used it today on a kiddo was using the # 2 andis magnetic guard and the clipper snaged on the hair and wouldn't cut so i had to use a senior from a coworker i got home and had a manikin head i use to use in school and ran the cliper on it to see if maybe it snaged cuz of the guards so i didnt use any jus the blade all the way closed and again it snaged on the hair and wouldnt cut then i placed a guard on it and it rattled so i looked at it closer and the # 1 blade was pushing out of the clipper like when i placed it i noticed that the #1 blade was abit wider that the standard gold blade so then i put the standard blade back on my cliper and it cut jus fine with and without guards without rattling i did notice that when i had the #1 blade it was able to cut allready short hair alot closer that the standard blade but ones i had to remove bolk it snags every time unless i open the blade a bit then it seems to cut fine but if i have to open it to cut kinda defeats the purpose of having it zero gapped if it snages when its at zero

You are that dude, good look man, i had 2 extra 1 guards i haven't used in years and it works flawlesssssss

"FANTASTIC" is an understatement. Great video! Glad dat u posted this!

Good vid. The lever manipulation method is efficient also. structure damage won't result as the half inch space was put there for the purpose of adjusting the gap space.

Thanks for the info bruh!!! I've used several of the tips that you've posted here. I've also been sure to let people I give those tips too, know that you are the one who plugged me!! Keep up the great work bruh!!

thanks for reply but i meant can u put the gold cutting blade that u took off the speedline and put it on the number 1 blade so i could still use the oster 1blade

You would have to have years of experience with blades and clippers in general to know this, it doesn't just come to you... #gOODgAME Mr. Warren!

Yeah, they open to a 1 like the Andis master and they give a nice smooth cut. In my opinion they cut faster than the Masters.

I did the same exact modification but the blade doesn't move when I tighten the screws. What did I don wrong. Hope you can help.

very god video I was about to Jack my clippers up by doing the other strategies that I saw on RU-vid you save my clippers thanks bro...

I tried this but when I took the clipper to open the cutting blade wouldn't move. What did I do wrong?

this works great glad I came across this....I f'd up my first set

How can I tune up my fast feeds? They sound like they're not as strong as they use to be

the side close to the lever moves before the far side n is slightly off, even when the blade is tight. will this cause n issue?

only a number 1 blade? what other blade I cn use if I don't have the #1 blade?

WHat's good with the 000 blade? Will it work better if your just shaving the head bald? Is the #1 blade good enough to give a bald head? I need to order today...Holla at me..Thx

I tried this on my Oster Topaz today but they wouldn't cut. It's pulling my clients hair. What could the problem be? I know the blade is different but do you have any thoughts?

Wassup man they zero gap PERFECTLY this way but theres one issue for me. They rattle with nano single magnetic guards while closed all the way. Does anyone know how to fix this?

David W., if I switch out the cutting blade for a 76 (#1) cutting blade, will I have any issues with the Andis Magnetic (purple) Guards?

I wonder why he didn't turn it on. Maybe because it rattles???

Just got a Fast feed and don't like the 1/4 guard it comes with. Would a classic 76 #2 blade be able to go on the Fast Feed?

U can also use the Andis ceramic blade also they work also, but great video , do you have a Instagram

Do you think the fast feed cutting blade would work on my detachable? Because I don't want to render my detachable 1 blade obsolete by taking away its cutting blade. If not ill probably just by another 1 blade

Very dope and effective tip your sharing brother. Thanks!

David, have you tried the 25 teeth blade on the speed line? And is the Oster Black Diamonex blade the same as the 1 blade u used in the video?

What to I do to keep it from rattling?

Hey what's up DW!? Love all your video my dude! This one is my favorite, as I just got some fast feeds and was wondering how to zero gap them and your way is the best BY FAR! My question to you is... by having them set this way, do they eat up the magnetic guards??? Please let me know. Thank you and keep the videos coming!

Thanks for the video I used 76ers 000 detach blade wrks great I appreciate the video again thanks

You are a genious my friend.God Bless you bro thank you.

Will do, I checked out your vids you have a tremendous clipper setup. Keep up the great work, i just followed you on Instagram.

is this good for low fades or shadow fades...?

My fast feed sounds different when I put the #1 blade one. Is it supposed to sound different?

i did it but it dint work, my blade is a 913-50

Can u use the 000 76er blade???

so which is best ? 1 or oa

When I take off fast feed blades there is like a foam piece. Do you take that out or keep it in there?

You are a beast bruh!!!! Got it!!! Lol

Oster speed line topaz and fast feed all have something different about them jus like the andis master phat mast and fade mast cmon do ur research read the boxes

Thanks for sharing the knowledge broski, I have one question, will replacing the cutting blade to a #1 76er will it affect the tapering lever since the teeth are longer? Will I still have a lot of open n close taper lever action like originally or will it be limited due to the longer teeth on the blade?

notice the extra screw holes. i have a detachable flat top t on my fast feeds beleive or not all andis and oster detachable blades fit.

Can you put the ORIGINAL blade from fast feed on the 76 one blade that we switch????

Oh, my blade is an andis. Is that cool?

Hey i did it. Worked. Was too sharp so i was gonna re adjust. Now the #1 blade rattes like crazy. Put the stock blade back on worked fine. Went and bought another #1 blad and is comeing loose and rattling again. Any suggestions?

I just bought the clipper and started to do the "jam" zero gapping method. Since I don't wanna potentially damage my brand new clipp I checked and found your vid. I don't have an existing oster no.1 guard since this is my first oster, plus those detachable blades are expensive as we all know. I have an andis 000 ceramic, an andis no.2 and andis outliner blade - all detachables for my andis bgr. Would any of these work is there another method or do I need to go BUY the oster no.1 detachable just so I can take it apart and use this method? Lmk thank you

Are u an instructor btw???

So the speed line is the same as the red fast feeds ? This can be done on the red ones aswell?

So, basically the Speed line, Fast Feed, and Topaz are all the same Clipper? I've seen some Topaz clippers that claim they are 00000 - 1, others say 000-1... I really like the look of the Topaz, but I think I'm gonna start out with the Speed line, b/c I found them online cheaper.

Good stuff!

do you recommend in getting the #1 detachable or the #0A detachable boss?

Best tutorial on this particular matter, @leveloneimagery

Genius! !!!

Great zero gapping tip for the Fast Feed clippers! Before I purchase a number one blade, I just wanted to confirm if this blade is the correct one: www.amazon.com/Oster-Clipper-Star-Teq-Power-Teq-Clippers/dp/B001NWO27Q/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1396055972&sr=1-2&keywords=oster+detachable+blades If you could please let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time!
