The Andis CeramicEdge size 40 is a detachable animal clipper blade for very close detailing and veterinary preparation. It leaves approximately 1/100 inch (0.25 mm) of hair, making it a specialized blade for work where little coat should remain. Andis recommends this cutting length for professional groomers and experienced users.

The moving ceramic cutter is designed to generate less heat than a steel cutter while maintaining its edge. The detachable assembly allows the blade to be removed for care or exchanged for another cutting length as the grooming task changes. It is compatible with the Andis AG, AGC, BG, DBLC, FHC, MBG and SMC models named on the manufacturer's package.

Check both the size 40 marking and item number 64265 when choosing a replacement. For day-to-day maintenance, brush away trapped hair, use clipper oil regularly and wipe away excess oil. Inspect the teeth while cleaning; a blade with a missing tooth should be replaced. Regular care remains necessary with a ceramic cutter, particularly when the blade is used repeatedly for close grooming work.
