Andis Master Cordless Replacement Blade – Carbon Steel Adjustable, 74040

The factory carbon steel blade that puts a tired Master Cordless back to work.

Andis item 74040 is the standard replacement blade for the Master Cordless clipper, model 12660. It is carbon steel and adjusts from 000 to 1 on the lever, which is the range that covers everyday barbering — taper work, blending and guard cutting — without swapping blades.

• 000 to 1 on the lever: one blade covers the working range you use on most heads.
• Carbon steel: Andis's specified material for the Master line, holding a keen edge under shop-floor volume.
• Genuine Andis replacement: the same part the clipper shipped with, so lever feel and cutting geometry are unchanged.
• Fast fix for a dull machine: most pulling and tracking on a Master Cordless traces to a worn blade.
• Keeps a backup ready: a spare in the drawer means a chipped tooth does not cost you the day.

Questions Barbers Ask

Is this the blade my Master Cordless came with?

Yes — 74040 is the standard adjustable blade Andis lists for the Master Cordless. If you want to go closer than 000, the 74045 fade blade covers 00000 to 000.

Does it fit the corded Master?

No. Andis specifies this blade for the cordless Master, model 12660.

How do I keep carbon steel from rusting?

Brush it clean, oil it at the end of the day, and do not leave it sitting wet after a blade wash. Carbon steel rewards a routine.

Why Barbers Love It

Nobody notices a blade going dull; they notice their cuts taking longer. Swapping in a fresh 74040 is the cheapest way to get that first-week-out-the-box cut back, and Master owners tend to buy two at a time for exactly that reason.
