KEMEI 1971 // ANDIS SLIMLINE PRO HEAD SWAP MODIFICATION TUTORIAL

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- *NOTE* it may be easier to zero gap the clippers by using the andis mounting plate (the part in my right hand at 06.50 ((without the pin on it here but with the one from the kemei)) in this video I use the kemei mounting plate which works but the andis one is adjustable.
So here’s the amazon link to the andis blades without the plastic parts which will save you some time:
www.amazon.com...
The site I bought the 1971 trimmers doesn’t stock them anymore but they can be bought off a lot of Chinese sites like aliexpress:
www.google.com...
Or eBay (USA):
m.ebay.ie/itm/...
Or eBay UK:

Thanks for the info i picked up a Kemi Type Trimmer and put the Andis Slimline Pro LI Blades on it hits real nice a lot cheaper than the Babyliss FX Trimmers i was about to get. I got the Andis blades on sale 18 bucks Win Win
Great mod! works like they were made for this. I basically have an Andis now for less than a third of the actual price
I was about to return mine because I couldn’t zero gap the blades but I missed the post office before they closed. Opened up my TH-cam and look what I ran across...thanks
Glad I could help!!
Just bought this razor and found out how to replace the head! thanks!
D barber my man look I done the blade swamp and before I seen this video I went and bought a babyliss gold fx cause like you they were hard 2 o gap and just won't that sharp so I did a head to head beard challenge it couldn't beat the fx in sharpness but man its was close that's 40 vs 170 thanks man I got to good one's now
Guess who just did it ✋
Thanks big homie
Mr. Trotter hell yea 💪🏼💪🏼
D Barbers was your email I need help my blades are loose and won't tighten up
I tried this and it cut awesome, again thanks for sharing 💯💯💯💯
Syncere Evans 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
What’s it worth it? I’m thinking about getting the Kemei and doing the swap
Mr. Trotter definitely! So worth it
@@dbarbers5180 look just wanted to say this mod is still working good 2 years later
I gotta try this , thanks for sharing
Just did this mod, worked perfectly
With one did you buy?
@@MrMikemary the one that’s in the video
I'm surprised you didnt have to shave anything off the mounts like in all the other videos . This is amazing! Thank you so much for this. I wish I had seen this earlier before I bought the Gtx blade which requires shaving out some plastic.
I did the same thing, but still satisfied even though this swap looks a lot more natural
I did have to add some washers when I just switched the blades. If anyone has trouble with the blade not tightening down, you can get the smallest washers you see at home depot. Only costs a dollar or two. Helps secure everything nicely but a pain to work with those little things in so little space
Excellent video my man!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Interesting I replaced the head without changing anything and it worked fine
What kind of blades did you use?
@@chadhill3977 
I used Andis Replacement Blade 32105 but i recently did your mod and they seem to hit a little harder
The outliner mod works on them too
This mod is still hitting hard
Saludos de Colombia buen video bro
Why didn't you keep the ceramic blade and just swap top blades/heads only
Steel blades don't dull as fast I guess. I imagined a plastic lawn mower blade.
Nice video, I got this trimmer but I didn't get the kemei brand. I got the surker brand. I bought andis slimline pro blades. I just hope I can fit mine. I definitely like the Andi's blades for close cutting.
David McLaughlin did it work bro?
Did it work for you?
Done this mod today 🔥🙌🏼🔥
Great to hear it worked 👍🏼
Thanks.
Very useful, thx! But I miss one important info - which new Kemei model you were writing about there: "I just bought the new improved thicker body version of these kemeis and the andis head just popped right on!"
I thought that maybe you meant KM-1978, but it's head looks much shorter.
Hey this is the exact ones. They are hard to find on any other site thepissedoffbarber.com/products/skeleton-trimmers-large-body
Thank you.
Hello I Was wondering if I could shave my Bolocks with these this missus has had enough of the tickled throat while face sitting ?
hahaha don't get too rough with the cutting though otherwise you might catch some skin!
Very good
Love this ... thank u
Was waiting for this 👌
I noticed that the way the motor rotates on my kemei it slightly raises the blade on the left side so whenever i use it to cut hair i have to raise that side of the blade so it doesnt cut into my skin. Does your kemei do that? And if so how do you fix it?
3:00 that plastic part are called cam follower.
Botak 230 thank you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Man, see Bruno Portoland video, 0 gap using on this lamin
Thanks for this. Just gotta order the Andis blade and give it a go👌🏾
Where do you order the andis blade?
The gold screws wouldn't screw into the andis plate leaving the blade very loose. I had to use the surker plate instead.
This happened a few people now, some of the detailers seem to have slight variations
@@dbarbers5180 I had the same issue. End up using the kemie top plate
Same with me
Wow 😯
Great video. Could you explain why you can't zero gap the original cutting blades? They look very similar to the andis slim line blade.
Reason why andis cut finer is because it's tinner it easier to break also other blade don't cut that tin because they're thicker and harder to break
Wish I saw this video first
Awesome bout to do it now!
Is this worth it or is it better to just spend a little more and buy the slimline pro ? Is it cut as good ? And is it easier to replace ?
Is that the Andis Slimline Pro Li Blade?
I did this but I feel the ceramic blade does a better cut than the Andis cutting blade..
I must try the ceramic blade! Good shout 👍🏼
Awesome thanks for tutorial bud, and links to andis head??
Thank you bro! I just got off local supplier but here’s a link to the andis blades alone which saves time dismantling them 👍🏼
www.amazon.com/Andis-Replacement-Blade-Trimmer-D-8/dp/B00RCTYZNK
@@dbarbers5180 awesome thanks bud!! Great tutorial nice and simple, I got these a while back to use at home, and the blades that come with them seem to pinch a little and guard is too sharp on th edge of it and causes thin scratches.. so will have to change to andis head..again thankyou very much,its super helpful!!!stay safe bud!
My cutting blade still moves around somewhat easily is there a way to fix that because it's screwed in very tightly
I am trying to figure out what's goin on with those kemei.. could you possibly help me by telling me the distance on the body of the clipper between the holes that the bottom blade mounts? I want to know if they are all the same. I have the budha one with the wahl style T blade and I would like to swap it with an ebay andis style china one maybe.
I just modified mine thx
Can you use the kemei head attachments with the andis?
why you wanna do that?
It's possible if using t outliner or gtx blade ?
What's the Best Kemei Trimmer for super Razor Close Clean BALDING? Any Ideals, suggestions, or modifications ... Please let me know.
Bro i'm doing this (self cutter..haha)..anyways: (because you said you would have put it on them Kemei base (as is)...had it not been for the fitting issue)....does that mean The Andis came out of the package "zero gapped "already?
Noel Taylor hey man no they don’t come out zero gapped which means you have to loosed the two screws inside the blade and push the cutting blade towards the edge of the top blade! I just bought the new improved thicker body version of these kemeis and the andis head just popped right on!
D Barbers @D Barbers what is the new Kemei model that fits the Andis slim line pro head?
D Barbers which one?
Can i use the wahl blades for the mod insted of the andis blades
Does using Andis Slimeline Pro Li work?
I wanted to ask one thing, are there other combs larger than 9 mm for this machine? very very good videoo
Would love to know as well. Hoping for a 15 mm
Can i use the kemei head with andis slimline pro blades
Quick question Does that slim line pro link u provided does it come with top and bottom blade picture only shows top blade
I’m not 100% as I bought the whole head but from recent experience you are better buying the whole head mechanism and trying it out on the body first as sometime (with luck) it will work perfectly, if not then you can take it apart and follow the video 👍🏼
How much better is the andis trimmer blades versus stock??? Is it worth it??
So much worth it! To be honest I couldn’t really use the stock ones after a while just not sharp and not good at taking bulk at all
Is this the same proces wirh the kemei t9
Is there a difference in the width between both heads or is it just the sharpness?
Jay S same width bro just the cutting power on the andis blade is so much greater!
But the link for buying de andis blade is just one blade right? Where do I get the front blade? Or is it included?
If you know a good supply place try and get the whole mechanism head and screw it on to the kemei body. Then if that doesn’t work (as there’s lots of variations of what kemei send) take it apart like the video and use a combination of parts 👍🏼
What replacement blade do u suggest for the vintage t9 which is similar 🤔
Detailer
Do you sell them already modified?
can i know it is possible to mod using andis gtx blade
Mate i ordered like a k9 trimmer looks similar to the kemei 1971 but with a battery life indicator.. my only question does the housing body of the 1971 have a slight play.. does it move? These ones i have do so just wanted to knw if the version i have are defective.
Where abouts is it moving I will check mine?
@@dbarbers5180 when u hold the trimmer with one hand and hold the head bracket with the other hand there is movement in the housing like something is loose inside. Ive returned mine and reordered to see if the other one is the same
djomi1980 oh ok! Definitely doesn’t sound familiar, lemme know how you get on with the next package!
@@dbarbers5180 recieved the new ones and theres no movement in the housing.. problem solved but they feel like they have less power than the previous ones. I think getting these chinese branded trimmers is like doing the lottery.. some good and some bad.. now gna try your modification and see if it hits any better. thanks a bunch mate.
djomi1980 100 perfect agree, esp if off different sellers it’s very hit and miss.
Can I buy the kemei 1971 off Amazon ? And then do what you did ? Please respond lol
Hey yes course you can!
If Andis pro Li 0mm is a better blade then why swap on the cheaper balding clippers 😆
shoul i swap with the Wahl Detailer head?
You Cant, the screwholes does not Line up correctly
Are the Andis blades suppose to be loose after installation?
No bro my email is ad.47@hotmail.com
Same happened to me. How did you fix it?
How much total £for the clippers + the andis blades
60$
Didn’t cut up to its potential
Can anybody assist
Instead of doing all that why not just buy the Andis set..
lol right
