What length does a Size 30 blade leave?

About 1/50 inch, roughly 0.5 mm. That is one of the shortest standard detachable blades, meant for faces, paws and sanitary areas.

Will it fit my clippers?

It fits Andis detachable-blade clippers and, per Andis, Oster A5 and Wahl KM series clippers. Check that your clipper takes detachable blades rather than snap-on guide combs.

Can I use it for a full-body trim?

On most dogs, no. A #30 is too close for body work and risks clipper burn; use a longer blade such as a #10 or #7F for the body and keep the #30 for detail spots.

Does it work on matted coats?

It will pull and dull quickly on mats. Clip mats out with a coarser blade first, then finish with the #30.

How do I keep it cutting well?

Oil the blade before and during use, brush out hair after each session, and clean off disinfectant residue. A dull blade tugs and heats up faster.
