You use the #40 blade when you attach the combs--at least on mine you do. For the combs, the size of the teeth determines the length of the hair left on the dog. So the 1/16 is the shortest cut you can give. The 1" is the longest. I have seen clippers in a package that come with a grooming dvd, you may invest in one of those packages or buy a grooming dvd. Good luck! |
Wow, you learned a lot from your dvd. I am currently in grooming school and that's pretty much what I have learned however, #40 blade is usually not used because it causes a lot of skin irritation due to the closeness of the cut.
