... Anyone here use or know of a good paper shredder? I'm looking to replace my Executive machines model that died, (it was a long slow death). I checked it out and the plastic spacers that keep the knives apart are broken/gone, the knives now bind up and overload the machine. I did consider machining some aluminum spacers and rebuilding the whole thing but I don't think it's worth it. I want cross cut, at least 8 sheet capacity, and BIG!! By that I mean a good sized basket underneath. Every shredder I look at now has the basket built in and safety locked. But the baskets are small! I shred EVERYTHING, not just the important stuff, gives thiefs about 900% more to look through and peice back together. I would love a machine that is about 30-36 inches tall VS the 18-20" that i'm seeing. Hell 40-48" would be OK, I can still reach it from my desk chair. If a smaller "resivoir" machine will handle your volume, buy it, cut the bottom out of it's basket and mount it over the old basket with sheet metal or plywood, etc. We made ours fit the recycling bin... -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com Production Tapping: http://Production-Tapping-Equipment.com/ Flagship Site: http://www.Drill-N-Tap.com VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/user/AutoDrill TWITTER: http://twitter.com/AutoDrill FACEBOOK: http://tinyurl.com/AutoDrill-Facebook V8013-R |

I have a staples branded unit, 16 sheet, "titanium cutter" - this is much
better than the fellows it replaced and cuts much smaller so it's more secure - and it cuts faster - could be worth a look "Randy" wrote in message ...

In California anyways..shredders are regularly found. And one can simply put a shredder on a piece of plywood and put it on a 55 gallon drum if necessary Gunner One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Well ... we had several "Intimus 007" shredders at work back about fifteen years ago (one per building). Probably around 40" high or so, with an interlock on the Plexiglass safety cover. Cut about 1/32" wide by about 3/16" long (most likely actually metric dimensions, as I seem to remember it being made in Germany. Three phase power, a big wire basket in the bottom with a very big plastic bag lining it. It shredded a lot of material rather quickly -- at least until someone put a binder clip on the shelf and it vibrated into the shred area and it stopped with a bang which was heard all around the building. When I got there, I found one very embarrassed secretary. :-) I opened it up, and discovered that not only did it break the double roller chain which went from motor to cutter bars, but also broke the base on which the parts were mounted. (And of course several cutter discs were beyond help.) However -- they were quite expensive. It took quite a while to get a replacement budgeted, so lots of trips to other buildings to shred documents. I did find tall models like this but they were over $1000.00 A later model of this appears he http://www.jtfbus.com/jtf/item.cfm?id=5912 It appears to have the shredding head separate from the enclosure, runs from 120 VAC single phase (with a 240 VAC version available), and sells for $6375.00 at this places's sale price. Apparently some of the console types are available on eBay, some currently showing for well under $1000.00.

Chop out/off the bottom of the bin, and set it on a bigger bin/trash can/chute. If the design of the one you buy for its shredding abilities (pay attention to duty cycles - some are laughable) requires chopping the bottom of the machine as well as the bin, so be it. Then if you really want to make it impossible to recover data, add some manure, food scraps, etc. and put it on the garden. I'm happy with the one I presently use, but it's not up to the sort of use you're putting yours to, and no longer available anyway. -- Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by |

Living alone, and being of sound mind (was that you, honey?) and over
18 years old. I took the grinder machine off my shredder. Faked out the safety switch, and strapped it to the wall over a 13 galon kitchen basket. I would never suggest that anyone else defeat safety mechanisms. You could perhaps take the short-basket model you mention. Saw the bottom off the basket, and strap the whole thing (shredder, and basket with open bottom) over a larger trash bin. That way, the small, open-bottom basket would act as a shield, and keep peoples fingers away from the gnashing of teeth and weeping and wailing and such. -- Christopher A.

It has plenty of power to munch the thick credit card offer envelopes full of crap without opening them. Also does CD/DVD/BD, etc. The machine is about 24" tall or so and notable heavy at the shredder mechanism. The lower portion and basket is around the size of a standard office trash can (10 gal size?). |

I gave them the benefit of the doubt that same day and tried the drive-thru on my way home from work. Parked in front of the speaker was an older compact car, driver's door open, no driver. After looking around, I honked. Some guy came out the back door retrieved something from the car, went back inside. So I left again. Later on, I decided the company should know about this situation, so I got on the corporate website and found the contacts page, clicked on "email us".

I don't drive every day. Usually only once or twice a week, and only long enough to get groceries or see a doctor. Sometimes I don't leave the house for weeks at a time. I was stuck somewhere for four hours longer than I was supposed to be. (So much for setting an appointment) I had already used the snack I had with me. The other restaurant was a half block away and I figured I had about 10 to 15 minutes to get something to eat, or pass out. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |
