Can the blade on this trimmer be removed for sharpening? Thanks!

I read the instructions and it doesn't say you can remove the blade. It does say if you get a nick in the blade you can use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick. Hope this helps you.

My husband said that if you're using it at home, it's great. You'd have to take it all apart then take it somewhere to have it done. If using in a commercial sense, you'd be better off buying a heavy duty one, more expensive but probably what you might need. Prior to purchasing this one, ours lasted for a long time.

With a lot of effort, yes, it could be sharpened...however, it is not needed. The point is plenty sharp enough to pierce from a thrust, and the blade is heavy enough to cut from a good swing without being sharpened.

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.

I bought a replacement blade, used a flat barber's sanding block to sharpen the face and manually filed in between the blade teeth. I assume no liability for this practice as it not recommended by the manufacturer. The blade is fixed and cannot be adjusted any closer.

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

it depends on the brand and type of hand trimmer... if you are talking about a phelco professional hand shear... yes.. it can be opened in a way to allow access for sharpening of the blade .. when dealing with most cheap shears it would be advisable to buy a replacement blade.. (if they sell them) or (buy Phelcos...)

Not as per the directions. The sharpener is supposed to rest on a counter surface. The machete blade would likely be too long.

Absolutely not, it is a carbide sharpener, plus the blades are replaceable.

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

I haven't tried to do that - but the construction of the cutter assemby is pretty flimsy so I would not plan to cut sandpaper with this machine - there are no provisions for sharpening a dulled curtting edge.

I've never taken it apart. I'm not sure if you can or not. After about 8 months mine went kind of dull and wasnt cutting the hair as well anymore, so I replaced the whole thing with a new one. There might be a way to change the blades but at $8 I thought it was easier to just replace the whole thing.

Yes it can be removed... The company also sells attachments to hold tools as well. Hope this helps.

No the blade is just a straight shape edge. There are holes throught the blade above the edge so what you are cutting does not adhear to the blade.

I've just purchased mine this year so I haven't had to sharpen the blades. but there is a specialized tool for it that is pulled along the blade. That all I know about it.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

The blade model should be somewhere on the blades if you take them off the clippers, add for the combs, it's an edger you don't use it with combs

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.
