How hard it is to clean BEHIND the blade? Do you remove the blade of is the gap large enough to get behind with a thin rag?

I find it best and safest to remove the blade cover and then adjust the blade to widest cutting position for cleaning... I used a damp sponge and always wear 'slash resistant gloves' that I purchased on Amazon.

I 're used mine just cleaned it up didn't affect the blades at all. The blood trail was amazing didn't even half to bend down to see it.

I just use a soft bristle brush and it gets everything loose under and around the blade and shaft then I take a damp paper towel and carefully wipe it out.

You would need blade oil and a VERY soft cloth so the paint doesnt get removed any worse

It can be easily taken apart for cleaning. I disassemble it and clean it takes about twenty minutes or so. The blade is sharp but it is no different then cleaning or handling knifes.

Absolutely... a rag with little WD-40 to get the 'oil' off the blade and you're ready to go. GREAT edge and taper on the blade as well. Enjoy!!!

Unlike the coarse slots, the fine slot seems to remove very little steel. When I use just the fine slot and then wipe the knife blade, there is almost no metal dust on the cloth. I think that you could use the fine slot as often as you wished without wearing down the knife.

I'm sorry but no it wont, if you want to zero gap your masters, remove the front cover, make sure the taper lever is pushed forward, if you look at the cutting blade there should be 2 screws, reverse hex/torn screws, those 2 screws need to be loosened, once loosened, you can take a flat head screwdriver and push the flat plate or tab just where the 2 screws rest and push forward til the cutting blade is where as far forward as you want it, be careful not to go as too far, it may cut your clients bad!!!!, once your satisfied with where it's placed tighten down the 2 screws and place front cover back on check over everything, hope that helps, lemme know I'm sorry but no it wont, if you want to zero gap your masters, remove the front cover, make sure the taper lever is pushed forward, if you look at the cutting blade there should be 2 screws, reverse hex/torn screws, those 2 screws need to be loosened, once loosened, you can take a flat head screwdriver and push the flat plate or tab just where the 2 screws rest and push forward til the cutting blade is where as far forward as you want it, be careful not to go as too far, it may cut your clients bad!!!!, once your satisfied with where it's placed tighten down the 2 screws and place front... » Read More I'm sorry but no it wont, if you want to zero gap your masters, remove the front cover, make sure the taper lever is pushed forward, if you look at the cutting blade there should be 2 screws, reverse hex/torn screws, those 2 screws need to be loosened, once loosened, you can take a flat head screwdriver and push the flat plate or tab just where the 2 screws rest and push forward til the cutting blade is where as far forward as you want it, be careful not to go as too far, it may cut your clients bad!!!!, once your satisfied with where it's placed tighten down the 2 screws and place front cover back on check over everything, hope that helps, lemme know « Show Less

Just wipe it down with a clean cloth rag. You will want to periodically clean the blade with choji oil which can be purchased through amazon or you could use wd40 which will prevent oxidation (rust) in more humid climates.

You can't remove the blades. All you can do is rinse it real well & use some q-tips to get in between the blades. It's a great mincer but I don't like the way you can keep it clean.

Cleaning is super easy. Especially if you put a plastic bag in the pulp catcher in the back. That way, you don't have to bother washing that part out. Everything else pretty much rinses out with hot water, except the blade itself. You'll need a cleaning brush to clean it off.

my guess is that it is a self cleaning mechanism. so there is no paper left between the cutting blades. my last shredded did that a lot.

I guess you could do that. The parts are not very big so it's pretty easy to just scrub them down in the sink. I wouldn't put the piece behind the blade in the dishwasher.

I never heard of anyone cleaning the blade. As far as I'm concerned, when the blade wears out, you replace it.

As I recall it was tricky getting that blade in because something was obstructing it, but I can't remember what. I got it in after a few minutes of fiddling around though so if you don't have it in by now send me an email and I'll take the blade off and see what I have to do to put it back in john.hawley@wright.edu.

I own both and the sheath covers the entire blade as it should wile still leaving the handel fully open and easy to grap. Just make sure you buy the correct sheath. I can't tell you how mny times i know and have heard of people who buy a sheath that is to a compleatly diffrent blade because they are too stuid to just read everything.

I'm not sure, there is no way to by pass the fan blade. I think what ever gets vacuumed comes in contact the the blade. Hope this helps.
