Clipper blades Checked against maker charts
The #7F clipper blade
A #7F blade leaves about 1/8" (3.2 mm) of coat.
Cut length
1/8"(3.2 mm)
Type
Finish cut (F/FC) — even, smooth result
What the #7F is used for
- The summer/kennel-clip standard — 1/8" of easy-care coat
- Both charts' fallback for matted coats that can still take a finish blade
- Oster's chart even calls it for a matted Golden Retriever (the exception to 'never clip a double coat' — matting wins)
Breeds this length suits
Poodle Cocker Spaniel Miniature Schnauzer Standard Schnauzer Giant Schnauzer West Highland White Terrier Scottish Terrier
Blade choice always depends on coat condition — a matted coat needs a shorter blade than the style chart says. The blade & comb finder walks you through it.
Which clippers it fits
#7F detachable blades use the A5 standard — they interchange across Andis, Oster, Wahl KM-series, and Heiniger A5-style clippers regardless of which brand made the blade. They do not fit 5-in-1 adjustable clippers (Wahl Bravura/Arco) or screw-on home clippers, which take their own blade systems.
