Which Gamma+ blade fits your clipper or trimmer, and how do you change it?

Clippers and trimmers

One grid decides everything. Gamma+ publishes a single compatibility table for its clipper blades and a second one for its trimmer blades -- and inside each family, every blade fits every tool.

FIXED BLADES
The six Gamma+ fixed clipper blades: Taper DLC, Fade DLC, Faper DLC, Echo Premium DLC, Faper Blue Titanium and Fade Gold Titanium

If you own a Gamma+ clipper, all six fixed blades fit it. If you own a Gamma+ trimmer, all of the T-blades fit it. That is the short version, and it is the manufacturer's own position: the Barber 2026 catalogue prints one compatibility grid per family, and inside each family the compatibility column reads the same on every blade. Your XCEED, BOOSTED UP and CYBORG clippers take the same blades as each other; your XCEED, CYBORG, BOOSTED and HITTER UP trimmers take the same T-blades as each other. What differs is which blade arrives fitted from the factory, and what each shape is meant to do.

This page covers the two questions that come with a spare blade: which one fits, and how to put it on. Every fitment, material and description below comes from Gamma+'s own catalogue and technical sheets. Cleaning and oiling -- the part that decides how long the blade lasts -- has its own page: how to clean and oil clipper blades.

Short answer
Clippers: Echo, Fade DLC, Fade Gold Titanium, Taper DLC, Faper DLC and Faper Blue Titanium all fit the XCEED, BOOSTED UP and CYBORG. Trimmers: the X-PRO range fits the XCEED, CYBORG, BOOSTED and HITTER UP. Shavers share nothing -- each takes its own head.

Which blade is on your Gamma+ tool right now?

Before you order a spare, know what the factory fitted. This is the pair to renew when the cut starts pulling, and it is the pair the tool was set up around.

See the note below

Two honest notes on that table. The CYBORG clipper is the one place where Gamma+'s own documents disagree: the 2026 compatibility grid names a Slim Deep DLC cutting blade, the CYBORG technical sheet names a Black Diamond Shallow. Until that is settled, look at the blade on your machine rather than at either document. And the HITTER UP's cutting length is printed two different ways across the same catalogue year, so we leave the figure off this page rather than publish a number we cannot stand behind.

The six clipper blades, and what each one is shaped for

These are Gamma+'s own descriptions, kept short because they are short in the catalogue. All six are fixed blades -- the one that sits on top and carries the teeth you see.

Five of the six are Black Diamond Carbon, the DLC coating Gamma+ uses across the range; the Fade Gold is gold titanium and the Faper Blue is blue titanium nitride, which Gamma+ describes as harder and lower in friction. The catalogue prints a purpose line for every blade except the Fade Gold Titanium, which is listed by material only -- so we describe it as the Fade shape in a different coating and leave it there.

How it sits
The fixed blade is only half of it
A Gamma+ clipper blade is two parts held together by a spring: the fixed blade you can see, and the moving blade underneath that does the cutting. Both wear, and they wear at different rates. Renewing only the top half of a tired blade set is the most common reason a fresh blade still does not feel fresh.

Gamma+ lists four cutting blades for the clipper family, and all four fit the XCEED, BOOSTED UP and CYBORG in the same way the fixed blades do: Shallow DLC, described as ideal for all general cutting; Slim Deep DLC and Slim Deep Gold, both described as lightweight for faster movement; and the L.P. Staggered Ceramic, for blending hair and creating texture while cutting. There is also a KIT ECHO MIM, an alternative set with an Echo MIM blade, a Shallow cutting blade, a CoolFlex spring and screws. None of those five is on our shelves yet, so they are named here without a link -- the six fixed blades above are the ones you can order today.

The four cutting blades, and the kit

These are the other half of the clipper family, and they fit the XCEED, the BOOSTED UP and the CYBORG exactly as the fixed blades do. Not one of them is on our shelves yet, which is why the section above is the half you can order today.

None of these five is on our shelves yet, so they carry no link and no photograph: Gamma+ prints them only as thumbnails in the catalogue, and we would rather name a part accurately than show you a blurred picture of it.

The trimmer T-blades, and why they are interchangeable

The trimmer family works the same way, on its own grid. Every T-blade is listed as fitting the XCEED, CYBORG, BOOSTED and HITTER UP trimmers, and all four tools use The One as the moving blade and the same blade spring.

Two more T-blades exist in the catalogue and are not stocked here: the GAMMA+ DLC, for all general cutting, and the ULTIMATE V2.0 DLC, for all cutting and high precision. The catalogue also lists an ES4 as an alternative fixed blade without printing a part code for it.

Two more T-blades exist in the catalogue and are not stocked here: the GAMMA+ DLC, for all general cutting, and the ULTIMATE V2.0 DLC, for all cutting and high precision. The The One moving blade is not stocked either. The catalogue also lists an ES4 as an alternative fixed blade but prints no part code for it, which is one of the questions we have put back to Gamma+.

Choosing between the four
The shape is identical; the coating is the variable. X-PRO DLC is the default and the one most tools ship with. Steel is the CYBORG's factory blade and the plainest of the four. Gold titanium and blue titanium nitride are the harder coatings, and Gamma+ says of the blue that it stays sharper longer. None of that changes what fits.

What does not cross over

Three boundaries are worth stating plainly, because getting them wrong costs a blade.

Clipper blades and trimmer blades
Two families, two grids, two sizes. The clipper blades are 45 mm and mount on the clipper's blade seat; the T-blades are 40 mm and mount on the trimmer. Neither fits the other tool, whatever the coating.
Shaver heads
Nothing is shared here at all. The XCEED Shaver, the BOOSTED Shaver and the BOOSTED One Foil each take only their own replacement head, and the Crunchy blades differ per model too.
Other Gamma+ clippers
The clipper grid also lists the X-Ergo, Alpha Up, Shorty and Neo Protege. We do not carry those, but if one is on your station the same six blades are listed as fitting it -- which is the point of a shared family.

How to change a Gamma+ blade

The blade itself is held by screws on every tool in the range -- the KIT ECHO MIM ships with its own screws and CoolFlex spring, which tells you what is under the blade you are lifting off. What differs between the tools is how you get to those screws.

Before you start
+
Switch the tool off and take the guard off. Never change a blade on a running clipper.
+
You need the mini screwdriver from the maintenance kit. The CYBORG and BOOSTED trimmers ship with one; the BOOSTED UP clipper ships with a maintenance kit.
+
The XCEED clipper, the XCEED trimmer and the HITTER UP have a removable magnetic drop-top, which Gamma+ supplies for cleaning, maintenance and lubrication -- take it off first and you can see what you are doing.
+
Work over the bench, not over the floor. The spring and the screws are small.

Mounted
What you are aiming to get back to
The blade seated square on the tool, screws even, nothing proud of the housing. Look at yours before you loosen anything: that position is the reference you are returning to, and it is quicker to copy than to re-derive.
The change, step by step
1. Open it up
Guard off. On a drop-top tool, lift the magnetic top away.
2. Brush it out
Take the loose hair out of the blade seat with the barber brush before anything comes apart, so nothing falls into the housing.
3. Note the position
Look at how the moving blade sits against the fixed blade before you loosen anything. That is the position you are going back to.
4. Loosen both screws
Evenly, a turn at a time, until the fixed blade lifts. Do not take them fully out until the blade is free.
5. Lift the fixed blade
The moving blade underneath sits on its spring. Lift it off and keep the spring with the screws.
6. Seat the new set
Moving blade onto the spring first, then the fixed blade on top. Start both screws by hand so nothing cross-threads.
7. Set and tighten
Bring the blade to the position you noted, or to the setting below on a trimmer, then tighten both screws evenly.
8. Run it and oil it
A few seconds under power, then a drop of blade oil along the teeth and wipe off the excess.
Gamma+ prints no torque figure and no interval for this. If a blade shifts under load, it was not tightened evenly rather than not tightened hard.

Zero Gap or 0.3 mm: setting a trimmer blade

The setting
Gamma+ supplies the setting, not the guesswork
Zero Gap is the position where the fixed T-blade sits flush with the moving blade rather than a fraction behind it, and it is what draws a hard line. Gamma+ does not leave it to the eye: the XCEED, CYBORG and BOOSTED trimmers each include an alignment tool that sets the blade at Zero Gap or at 0.3 mm, and the BOOSTED's blade is described as adjustable from 0.8 mm down to zero.
Gamma+ X-PRO DLC T-blade fitted on a Gamma+ trimmer

Use the tool that came in the box. Loosen the two blade screws just enough for the fixed blade to move, seat the alignment tool, bring the blade up against it, then tighten both screws evenly and take the tool away. The universal blade setter Gamma+ sells separately does the same job at 0 to 0.3 mm across brands. Zero Gap is a setting for lines and edges; 0.3 mm leaves a margin, which is what most barbers want on a trimmer that also runs over skin. Clippers are different again: on those the cutting length is set by the lever -- the XCEED's six clicks and its freestyle side, the CYBORG's click or floating lever, the BOOSTED UP's three levers and its TIGHT or STRETCH taper bracket -- so on a clipper you seat the blade square and let the lever do the rest.

One thing not to do
Do not file, grind or otherwise re-shape a blade to close the gap. The DLC, gold titanium and blue titanium nitride coatings are surface layers, and once they are cut through the blade corrodes from that edge inwards. If a blade will not come to Zero Gap with the tool, it is worn, not misaligned.

After the change, the blade only lasts as long as you keep it

A new blade and a dry blade end up in the same place. Gamma+ makes three care products and the same three suit every tool in the range: the Blade Oil 3 in 1 for the drop after each client, the Spray Oil 5 in 1 for a fast one-pass refresh between cuts, and the Blade Therapy 7 in 1 as the deep clean the blade goes into rather than gets wiped with. The full routine, including how often and in which order, is in our blade cleaning and oiling guide.

If you are still choosing the tool rather than the blade, the three clippers are compared side by side in XCEED vs CYBORG vs BOOSTED UP, and everything Gamma+ makes that we carry sits on the Gamma+ brand page.

Frequently asked questions

Which blade fits the Gamma+ XCEED, CYBORG and BOOSTED UP?
All of them. Gamma+ prints one compatibility grid for its clipper blades, and every fixed blade in the range -- Echo, Fade DLC, Fade Gold Titanium, Taper DLC, Faper DLC and Faper Blue Titanium -- is listed as compatible with the XCEED clipper, the BOOSTED UP and the CYBORG. The same is true of the cutting blades. What changes between the three tools is which pair arrives fitted, not which pair will fit.
Which blade comes fitted on my Gamma+ clipper?
The XCEED ships with the Echo fixed blade over a Shallow cutting blade, the BOOSTED UP with the Fade DLC over a Shallow, and the CYBORG with the Faper DLC. On the CYBORG's cutting blade the 2026 catalogue grid says Slim Deep DLC while the tool's own technical sheet says Black Diamond Shallow, so check the blade in your hand before you order a replacement.
Do Gamma+ trimmer blades fit every Gamma+ trimmer?
Every T-blade in the range is listed as fitting the XCEED, CYBORG, BOOSTED and HITTER UP trimmers, and all four share The One as the moving blade and one spring. The tools arrive with different T-blades -- X-PRO DLC on the XCEED and BOOSTED, X-PRO Steel on the CYBORG, X-PRO Blue Titanium on the HITTER UP -- but you can move any of them onto any of the four.
Can I put a clipper blade on a Gamma+ trimmer?
No. They are two separate families with two separate grids. A 45 mm clipper blade does not mount on a 40 mm trimmer, and a T-blade does not mount on a clipper. The shaver heads are a third case again: those are not shared at all, and each shaver takes only its own foil head.
What is Zero Gap on a Gamma+ trimmer?
It is the setting where the fixed T-blade sits flush with the moving blade rather than a fraction behind it, which is what gives a hard line. Gamma+ supplies the setting rather than leaving you to judge it: the XCEED, CYBORG and BOOSTED trimmers all include an alignment tool that sets the blade at Zero Gap or at 0.3 mm, and the BOOSTED's blade is described as adjustable from 0.8 mm down to 0.
How often should a barber change a clipper blade?
There is no interval on any Gamma+ sheet, because it depends on how much you cut and how well the blade is kept. Change it when the cut starts pulling instead of slicing, when the fade line drags, or when the teeth show chips. Cleaning and oiling after every client stretches the interval a long way; a dry blade is what shortens it.
What is the KIT ECHO MIM?
It is Gamma+'s alternative blade set for its clippers: an Echo MIM blade, a Shallow cutting blade, a CoolFlex spring and the screws, sold as one kit with a 'Cool Blade' effect and an integrated lubrication system. Gamma+ lists it as fitting most of its clippers. We do not stock it yet, so it is named here without a link.

Blades are the one Gamma+ part you will buy more than once. Because the range shares them, the blade you choose is a question of shape and coating rather than of which machine you own. All the blades we stock are on the Gamma+ accessories and parts page.
