The Aesculap GT305D is a size #50 detachable blade set for professional animal clipping when a very close 0.2 mm cutting length is required. Its 40 mm cutting width and SnapOn fitting make it a replacement cutting head for compatible SnapOn clippers, including the Aesculap FAV5. The exact blade size matters here: choose this model for its specified short cut rather than treating all detachable heads as interchangeable cutting lengths.

A carbon-steel cutting set provides the working structure, with a diamond-like carbon coating added to the surface. That treatment helps the blade resist wear and corrosion while reducing friction through the coat. Aesculap manufactures its SnapOn blades in Germany using precision grinding and milling, with tooth geometry developed to produce an even clipping pattern.

The detachable mounting lets you remove the head for cleaning or exchange it when another length is needed. For FAV5 use, follow the clipper manual when seating the blade on its hinge and check that it locks correctly. After clipping, clear hair from both cutting plates and the spaces between the teeth with a soft brush or cloth. Lightly oil the cutting surfaces with Aesculap GT604 blade oil; the coating still needs routine lubrication.
