Do they cut through a double coat?

We have a old Poodle and a young MultiPoo. Our multipoo has a very thick coat. Her hair was about 21/2" or 3". I just used the blades which came with Andis and used the various attachments to cut her coat. Starting with the 9 and working my way down. I was very impressed how easily I was able to cut our multipoo. The Andis never heated up or was to warm to cut. I did stop part way through and oiled the blades. No our dogs would not win at the dog show after my cutting them. I ended up with a few gouges and I think that was caused by her moving and my learn curve. Which is why I started cutting with the highest number and worked my way down. Yes, I would recommend this shaver to anyone wanting save dollars as we are currently paying about $45.00 per dog. So I feel the next hair cut I am making money

With our multipoo you do have to pull the hair taunt, otherwise it runs really smooth on our German Shepard. Also we found that it does not get hot like the cheap clippers would. Hope that answers your question.

Yes. You can't tell from the picture, but they are perforated in a cone shape. You just pull off what you need.

Yes, and no. Yes, it can be done, but I don't believe it will work well attempting to do so in one single slice / cut. I'd recommend stripping the insulation away first and then cut the wire if you wanted to do so with the blade. The pliers would work better for cutting the actual wire, and using the blade(s) for shaving off the insulation. So, yes, you can do it, but no, I wouldn't do so in one cut. Hope this helps. :)

I have not cut them up - but I have looked this up on line & with the silpat company & they said NO. Do not cut as the fiberglass mesh particles might migrate into the food.

I would not cut them, however, these liners could be cut. They are perfect, as is, and you would need some really sharp shears and hold it down for a straight line, but you would end up with a very sharp unfinished edge.

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work.Thanks,Aaron

You could probably cut through them with a dremel or something similar; from what I recall they're too thick to cut with scissors.

The gloves are relatively resistant to being cut but yes a sharp cutting instrument will cut them.

No, because the blade surface is double-edged; doing that would only dull the blade on one edge.

No way. They have fiberglass reinforcement (look closely and you can see it) so cutting them would expose the fiberglass fabric, and maybe also lead to deterioration.

I have used mine both ways. They don't have a sharp cutting edge, but they did work for cutting as well.

Kim, I'm not really sure but I will tell you they are great scissors!!! I use them on double coated dogs and they stay sharp!!! Best money spent.

I have NOT. Having said that, I would guess that cutting one of these would be pretty difficult -- they are pretty thick/heavy duty.

I would think a circular saw would cut through them easily, they are a little too thick to use an untility knife or hacksaw without it taking forever, though possible in a pinch

They arent really intended to be cut - they snap together. However , Id imagine a hack saw / sawsall would cut it just fine.

There is no coating on the blades. If the dog's coat is coarse, you probably need a different blade. I believe the lower the number of the blade determines what coarseness the blade can handle. I bought a #5 sliptooth blade to handle my terrier's coat.

Yes - they can. Have markings on them. you put your feet on them first and see what marker, then cut along lines.
