Are Oster and Andis blades interchangeable?
This is a very good question and the answer is yes, if the blade is made for the Andis AG, it will work on the Oster A5, Wahl and Laube. Most all professional blades are interchangeable. They will state on the package or in the catalog that they are “A-5” or “Snap On” type blades. Here is what you have to be VERY careful of: If the blade-set is adjusted to work well on the Andis, the blade-set may not work well on another clipper without adjusting it to fit properly on another clipper. This happens so many times, and the blame usually falls on the clipper, when the problem really is due to improper adjustment of the blades. You should have on hand enough blade-sets to use individually on both clippers. You should mark the blades you are using on the Andis with one color of toenail polish and the blade you are using on the Oster with another color. Adjust the blades to fit and work well with each clipper, then don’t miss-match them.
