What setting equals a Red Tip

Post by Laney1566 »

Howdy guys.
I enjoy the Red Tips and was wondering what settings would I need on a Fatboy and Slim to equal the red tip.

A setting of "5" on a Fatboy is about the same as a Red Tip for me.

Life is too short not to use a sharp blade and a good brush.

That will take a little experimentation. A 3 for me may be a 5 for you. You get the picture. I'd start with a 3 and work my way up, but a 3 is not a bad place to start and for some that's high enough.

The red tip is exactly 4.872 on the Fatboy, and 5.0039 on the Slim.

Don't let all those decimal places fool you; I have no idea!
