Upper Cutter Plate Medium 23 Teeth by Kerbl

The GT505 Upper Cutter Plate is made from wear-resistant carbon steel, treated via vacuum hardening for optimal blade hardness and longevity. Its manufacturing via CNC machining ensures precision tooth geometry and consistent quality. The 23-tooth configuration provides a balanced clipping performance, enough cutting power for thicker coats but gentle enough to produce a smooth finish. This blade is compatible with Aesculap/Kerbl horse and cattle clippers and fits with a variety of lower blades (e.g. matching medium or narrow lower cutter plates), depending on the cutting height required.  Known for its long service life, the GT505 blade can be sharpened (re-ground) multiple times, making it a cost-effective, long-term choice for frequent clipping operations.

Key Specifications

• Teeth count: 23 (upper blade)

• Material: Wear-resistant carbon steel, vacuum-hardened for durability and optimal hardness. 

• Manufacture: CNC-machined cutting surfaces for consistent quality and precision.

• Weight: ~ 0.06 kg (per the official spec) 

• Compatibility: Designed for use with a range of lower cutter plates (e.g. GT502 narrow lower 31-teeth, GT506 medium 23-teeth, GT508, GT511 for fine clipping), depending on clipping depth or coat thickness.

• Use-cases: Full-body clipping, general coat maintenance, winter coat removal, coat trimming for horses, cattle and other large animals.

Usage

Target Animals: Horses, cattle, other livestock suitable for medium to heavy coats or general clipping jobs.

Recommended Application:

• Use for full-body clipping, general maintenance clipping or coat trimming where a 23-tooth medium blade is appropriate.

• Especially effective for horses with standard to thick coats needing regular clipping for comfort or hygiene.

Method of Use:

• Attach the GT505 upper blade to a compatible clipper head (e.g. Aesculap / Kerbl horse/cattle clippers) according to manufacturer instructions. 

• Pair with a suitable lower blade depending on desired clipping height (e.g. 3 mm full-body clip, or shorter/longer depending on lower plate).

• During clipping, use clipper oil regularly to lubricate the blades and avoid overheating, especially during long sessions. 

• Clean and lightly oil blades after use; inspect teeth regularly; re-sharpen or replace when the clip becomes dull or inconsistent.

Maintenance & Care:

• Can be re-ground (resharpened) multiple times due to hardened carbon steel and high-quality surface coating.

• Store in a dry, clean environment; avoid moisture to prevent rusting; apply clipper oil before storage if unused for long periods.

Features & Benefits

• Durable carbon-steel construction with vacuum-hardening: Provides long blade life and consistent cutting strength, even under frequent use.

• 23-tooth medium configuration: Offers a balance between cutting power and smooth clipping suitable for general use on horses and livestock with medium to thick coats.

• CNC-machined precision: Ensures consistent tooth alignment, smooth cutting action, and safe coat removal without pulling or ragged clipping.

• Sharpenable blade: Extends usable life good investment for farriers and stables that clip regularly.

• Versatile compatibility: Works with many lower-plate options depending on coat condition and clipping requirements flexible for different seasons, coat types, or animals.

• Suitable for broad clipping needs: From full-body coat removal to general grooming useful in winter clip, summer clip, or routine maintenance.
