The Aesculap GT516 Econom shearing blade set is a 3 mm combination for general cattle clipping. It pairs the GT505 upper cutter, with 23 teeth, and the GT507 lower comb, with 21 teeth. Aesculap classifies this pairing as medium serrated and identifies it as an all-round cattle option.

The two components provide a matched cutter-and-comb set for this clipping length. Selecting by the GT516 reference makes the pairing clear, while the individual GT505 and GT507 numbers help identify each component when planning future replacements or servicing.

These Econom blades are manufactured from carbon steel with a wear-resistant surface coating. CNC machining controls the component geometry, and vacuum hardening provides the blade hardness. The cutting surfaces can be professionally reground, allowing the set to be maintained as the edges become dull through use.

Before fitting the blades, remove hair and dirt from the head and cutting surfaces. Follow the clipper's instructions for blade placement and cutting-pressure adjustment; these settings are part of obtaining a correctly working cutting assembly. Lubricate before and during clipping, and keep the blades dry and oiled during storage. The set's specified 3 mm cut and 23/21 tooth pairing distinguish it from other Econom blade combinations.
