Extra-Wide 42mm T-Blade

The blade features an extra-wide 42mm cutting surface, giving professional users a larger working area than a standard T-blade.

At approximately 6mm wider than the standard Wahl T-blade, it can cover more hair with each pass while still retaining the corner control associated with a T-shaped blade.

This combination makes it especially useful for both straight-line detailing and more intricate finishing work.

Designed for Edge Lining

The Wahl Extra Wide T Blade is particularly suited to edge lining and outlining, where a crisp, controlled cutting edge is essential.

It can be used to refine hairlines, shape around the temples, clean the neckline and define the perimeter of a haircut after the main clipper work has been completed.

Ideal for Detailed Finishing

Professional detailing often involves working in small areas where accuracy matters more than bulk removal. The T-shaped profile gives the barber access to both the main cutting edge and the blade corners, helping make controlled finishing easier.

This makes the blade a useful replacement for professionals who regularly perform close detail work throughout the day.

Adjustable to Zero Overlap

The blade can be adjusted to zero overlap, allowing the moving and stationary blades to be positioned for an exceptionally close cutting action.

When correctly aligned, this can help provide the precision required for sharp lines and close detailing. Proper blade adjustment is essential, as an incorrectly set zero-overlap blade can cause discomfort or irritation.

Perfect for Pattern & Design Work

The close-cutting performance and T-shaped blade make this replacement particularly useful for creative hair patterns and design work.

The corners of the blade can be used to work through smaller areas and create defined shapes, while the wider cutting edge helps with cleaner straight sections and outlines.

Close 0.4mm Cutting Length

With a cutting length of approximately 0.4mm, the blade is designed for close professional trimming and finishing.

This cutting length makes it suitable for removing very short hair during edge work and refining areas that require greater precision than a standard clipper blade would typically provide.

Professional Performance

The Wahl Extra Wide T Blade is designed for professional use only and to deliver the sharp performance demanded by experienced barbers and stylists.

Regular cleaning, oiling and correct blade alignment are essential to help preserve this performance and keep the trimmer operating smoothly throughout its working life.

Ideal Replacement for Worn Blades

Trimmer blades gradually wear with repeated use. If cutting performance begins to decline, lines are taking longer to create or the blade requires repeated passes, replacing it can help restore the trimmer's performance.

A replacement blade is a cost-effective way to maintain an existing professional Wahl trimmer without replacing the complete machine.

How to Oil the Wahl Extra Wide T Blade

1. Place three drops of blade oil along the top and sides of the blades.
2. Turn the trimmer on to allow the oil to move through the cutting surfaces.
3. Allow the blade to run briefly so the oil is distributed evenly.
4. Switch the trimmer off.
5. Remove any excess oil carefully with a clean cloth.
6. Repeat regularly as part of your normal professional maintenance routine.

How to Maintain Your Replacement T-Blade

1. Remove loose hair and debris after each use.
2. Oil the blade regularly using Wahl's recommended method.
3. Check the blade alignment before using the trimmer against the skin.
4. If adjusting to zero overlap, make sure the moving blade does not project beyond the stationary blade.
5. Keep the blade clean and dry when not in use.
6. Inspect regularly for visible wear or damage.
7. Replace the blade when cutting performance noticeably declines.

Important: This replacement blade is intended for professional use only. Extra care must be taken when setting a blade to zero overlap. Incorrect alignment can cause skin irritation or injury, so always follow Wahl's current blade fitting and adjustment guidance and test the setup carefully before use.
