Works good.

The ceramic cutter blades are superior to the metal cutters. The best I have ever used! I can shear twice as many alpacas with them.

If you use your clippers for any length of time, multiple animals, whatever — do yourself a favor and get these cutters. We have shorn alpacas for over 15 years, and these are BY FAR the best cutters we’ve used. They run cooler than the steel cutters and last way longer. I have done over 30 animals with one cutter and a couple of (resharpened) combs. Those results may not be typical, but they’ll last way longer than your steel ones.

This ceramic cutter is by far better than an equivalent metal cutter. I bought a 4000S Shearing Machine kit and it came with a metal cutter which is not very good. I would recommend immediately buying the ceramic cutters as a replacement. Premier 1 should sell the kits with the ceramic cutter in place of the metal cutter.

This cutter is 10 times better than metal.
