Is there a depth gage setting of any kind, or is the hair length left behind more of a manual thing?

No, there is no gauge, you are meant to shear down close to the skin. These shears were $75 when I bought them a few years ago, and they are very, very heavy, unwieldy, and vibrate all over the place. You will not be able to find replacement parts, because the manufacturer is in China. After only using these for a few years, I have now switched to hand shears, it is safer on my sheep, though very time consuming. If you're going to get electric shears, get really professional ones (like through premier1supplies), or hire someone to do it. These are really very bad on the whole.

I have used twice on icelandic sheep and length was dictated by manual manipulation. Not sure of any length settings.

Well my sister had another competitor help her shear her sheep for 4h, but from what I heard it seemed like it was more manual than anything.

Length is adjusted via cam lock adjuster. Simple to use and can be itself adjusted for tightness...

There isn't a guide for the 1" -1.5", but the rest are covered. I suggest using a comb for the longer lengths. I have been very happy overall with my trimmer.

The depth is approximately 8 inches. There is a knob for low, medium, and high to control the speed.

I have shoulder length hair that is usually cooperative with a curling iron. I was not able to achieve the deep waves in the item description no matter what I did.

Me too - but mine is short and I haven't had that issue. Hopefully somebody with longer hair will know for sure.

Yes & no , where I would imagine, you could limit the the depth of cut, I don't think it would be practical or accurate. Where there is a will there is away.

There does not appear to be. The instructions that come with the chain only show use of a "Depth Gauge"

The depth adjustment is pretty firm. It can require a bit of jostling to set an exact depth of strip, but it isn't too hard to adjust, and won't go anywhere while you're using this tool.

Yes, It will always set at the proper depth if you squeeze the the lever all the way. This can be quickly checked by setting the casing upright on a hard flat surface. You can do this until you are comfortable that it always seats properly. I have never had one not seat but on occasion the primmer is flipped so be aware of that until you are comfortable, always check.

There is a depth stop but have never used it. Seems to me though that you would have to put a spacer block between what you're grooving and the back fence to get a uniform depth all the way across the grooved board since the deepest part of the cut is at the centerline of the blade. Hope that helps, if I did it that way I'd use a small router plane (Stanley #71) to make it uniform.

Same here !!! Hair grows in all directions on my face too. Somehow I am not able to clear my neck properly. What is the soft setting for?

My beard is not very long so hard to say. It's adjustable and if you use the included comb with the longest setting you get about 3/4" length in the direction of growth or about 1/2" against the grain. If your beard is longer than that, you'll be manually trimming. I do that sometimes, and didn't find any trouble with it. HTH.

You can adjust the setting for depth. Most often you do not want the nail head to penetrate the surface of the siding or sheeting. This has been a work horse for me. Excellent siding nailer and excellent when you need ringshank nails.

There is just some black plastic hair length covers that go over the blade.Nothing is adjustable, this beard trimmer is basic. Roy

I don't think so. I have never had a problem with length. For me the issue would be more of thickness of the hair. It seems to miss fine hair over thicker hair. I just make sure I go over areas a few times and am in good lighting to make sure everything is gone.

As this reviewer mentioned, a little calibration may help your problem:http://www.amazon.com/review/R3COQQ6GLLJI3H/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
