You all joke about this....I am a paper shredder repair tech. and have see this before by a client, I get a service call one day from a woman who said her shredder had stopped working. I get to her location, which is in her home, and the machine is rusting, and there is green material hanging out of the bottom of the unit. I proceed to ask her what this material, she says " cabbage and lettuces " so of coarse i ask "why were you shredding cabbage and lettuces?" Her response "i wanted to make coleslaw" ...... That's when I have to explain " It's a PAPER SHREDDER!!!! not a food processor. P.S. Fellows paper shredders advertises " The Worlds Toughest Paper Shredder" What a joke!!!! buy Kobra, Intimus, or M.B.M. Way better units that are manufactured to last.
Hahaha, why does that not surprise me that somebody actually tried making a salad with their shredder :p The Fellows ones are junk, I am surprised it still works given all the crap I have fed through it so far!. I am tempted to buy a new one just so i have a spare set of sheers for the modded one.
+Karl Buchan Lady wasn't very bright. Common sense is telling me to never put anything wet in my paper shredder because it is obvious that it will rust and become inoperable. I use my paper shredder for the purpose it was designed for and that is paper clips, staples, credits and CDs as well as papers. I had my paper shredder for many years and it is still going strong. I have a Staples paper shredder and I love it.
When dealing with low security information most people, including the medical field (H.I.P.P.A.) can shred to a level 2 or 3 cross cut. Now , When dealing with level 4,5,and 6 you start to get into more classified shredding which is more easily damaged by foreign objects other than paper.
Hi ! I Just ! Bought ! My !. Shreadder !! ( FROM !! THE !! TIP !! ) That's !! WHERE !! I !! GET !! EVERYTHING !! NOW !! HOW !! AMAZINGS !! THAT !!! ???
oww, that sounds like a body disposal unit :D, nasty things! seen a few OH&S bullitins about safety around industrial meat grinders :D, if you go in, your fucked!, is pretty much what they were implying
might be able to put in a lot of nuts and bolds throught the sides to clean out the grooves should stop the shafts from flexing too interesting build , loking for sumting to shred plastic 2.5 liter milkbottles to reduse its volume , this thing might do the job of i squish the bottles flat before pushing them through
there are a few, but the machines are very expensive. only big offices or companies specializing in document destruction buy them. but you can feed them whole reams at a time :D
craig scothern I've had a fellowes 11 sheet crosscut shredder going on 8 years now, still running very strong with proper maintenance. I fill the bin weekly so it gets decent use at my office. The gears will strip/wear out if you feed past its capacity and try to force the shred instead of reversing and trying to clear the jam. Some of the newer ones have a jam free feature that wont let you over feed. We just got one and it is sweet and SOOOO much quieter than my current one.
lmfao!, I would have no problem feeding it kiddie fiddler's dong's :D I should lend it to Vic Police for when they catch the one that's going around Melbourne at the moment trying to abduct kids :(
I have done some more work on it since and it will eat cardboard, but I do not have a vid up yet, it does take some metal working and a decent gear motor to drive it.
🤣 you are a funny guy, i enjoyed this video so am now a subscriber, i looked at your channel and laughed, i look forward to watching more, thank you :)
was there a bolt or nut peace that you connected the drill too? or what was there something in the gear assembly that you connected it to and if so, what?
disposed of plenty of "bodies" in it from dead frogs &snakes to a "catch em alive,not for long" rat trap just bait with peanut butter,they come out looking like hairy peanut butter&jelly !!
lol okay. and now attach it to a big ass motor and shred some metal with it XD or let it shred itself. (you know like in cartoons where the vacuum sucks itself)
Yes, we need a bigger motor on that, maybe variac / VFD driven. Putting those leaves in there gave me an excellent idea: That shredder would knock up a wicked coleslaw in no time at all. :D LMAO! Shredder motor pop? Yes, Mr. Photon DID pop one of those, I remember the vid. The really funny thing about it was, as he was cranking it on the variac, the motor somehow kept on repeatedly "backfiring"...yes, it made loud bangs-n-pops before finally giving up & blowing its windings. :D -BBD.
have you tried plastics,cloth, or waxy cardboard? will a air compressor clean out the gunk between the cutting wheels? i've taken apart 3 paper shredders, saved the knives, and disassembled the motors- good copper, and scrap metal.
Lol I did something like this last year, feel free to check it out if you want! It's not the best but it was interesting. Aussies is clearly way better than mine lol
Karl: Here is another joke regarding shredders: It is the custom to place the refuse, the shreds into a transparent plastic bag -- for the whole world to see that one is shredding confidential material and often times it is packed so cleanly without one's thinking of putting some undesirable substance in it as dung, excrement, stale-sauce, or grime -- but no: they leave this outside of their house/business in order to say, "Come on in, there is more confidential stuff where this came from" Soon, they will be looking inside your house! This is amazing.
you should see my modded shredder back in korea ,its a 50 year old meat grinder"worm type" hooked up to a large 8 hp motor ,it eats everything thats feed to it from alloy stuffs like hard drives ,&ballast ,to small wooden bats ,i miss that beast
HAHA. eddy you crack me up mate, lol if you put that big motor on it on the floor' it would rip that thing apart lol ;-) I'm looking forward mate for when you get that big beast outside working!!! Awesome!! Thanx ed for sharing, THUMBS UP*
My mother has that model of shredder... I like your one better, although it appears to need more maintenence without those pegs to strip the shredded stuff out.
give it a bigger motor!!! :D weld on a nice motor mount and put on a nice high torque motor, switched by a dead mans switch of course :) to clean it i would say mount some scrapers facing downward to the sides. very nice and narly! :D
There's not much to break so they put shitty plastic parts on purpose so you will have to buy another one. Get the stuff from 70's and 80's, it will work for decades.
Thanks for the very interesting vid. Just wondered whether you have tried to use corrugated which is basically three or more sheets of paper? I am not worried about safety, and yes I know its wrong! I want to modify a new fellows 450 or 460 machine to remove any thickness troubles I will not be ripping anything off the top I just want advice on what to alter to get the machine to shred corrugated and not the solid type card. Any help would be gratefully accepted..
I had a junk Fellows like that a few weeks back. I took the plastic spacers out and combined spur disks onto one of the hex rods. It resembled a medieval battle rod of some sort. I was a little afraid of what the kids might do with it so I chucked it in the lathe and turned the spurs off... made some washers. I'm a little sorry now after seeing your video!
Great idea, my daughter had a comercial one that broke a gear. I hand cut a new one but before I told her she had bought a new one, now I was stuck on what to make of it. Thanks again for the video. Cheers, Billy in Canada PS hope you are surviving the craziness OK.
I'd be the first one to watch Ed make food...I can imagine the carnage. "Hmmm the tomatoes aren't cooperating *throws tomatoes in running engine's crankcase*"
I miss this guy. He was a Great youtuber.
R.I.P. Ed
my best advice right now is put some kinder surprises in, see if the toy survives
That thing is already deadly looking, would love to see what a hilariously strong motor would do with it!

100%: What type of Staples shredder?

oww, that sounds like a body disposal unit :D, nasty things!
seen a few OH&S bullitins about safety around industrial meat grinders :D, if you go in, your fucked!, is pretty much what they were implying
I've seen commercial size shredders with bad gears. I think they design them to fail if someone's hand gets sucked in.
might be able to put in a lot of nuts and bolds throught the sides to clean out the grooves should stop the shafts from flexing too
interesting build , loking for sumting to shred plastic 2.5 liter milkbottles to reduse its volume , this thing might do the job of i squish the bottles flat before pushing them through
You've seen the "Dumb Ways to Die" rail safety video right?
I think it needs a new line...
"Copy Aussie50 without knowing what you're doing"
;-)
done that before with the same shredder only powering it with air drill so higher rpm it would eat paper like there was no tomorrow :D
fuck it, just drive over it with a car.
any shredder that can't take cardboard isn't a real shredder
lol, Little Car's tires don't like sharp metal objects :p
there are a few, but the machines are very expensive. only big offices or companies specializing in document destruction buy them.
but you can feed them whole reams at a time :D
thats a NOT SO NICE FELLOWS !!! ,feed it a false flaggots fingers !!
I have a fellows B-121C and it will eat anything up to small coins such a pennies and dimes. It can't shred a nickel but it nearly does
craig scothern You have to keep the gears and blades oiled up, that's what I do with my DM15C and lasted over 10 years
craig scothern I've had a fellowes 11 sheet crosscut shredder going on 8 years now, still running very strong with proper maintenance. I fill the bin weekly so it gets decent use at my office.

You sound as if you are a salesman.
Well if i was id probably stretch the truth about the nickel thing xD
Instant salad maker!
lmfao!, I would have no problem feeding it kiddie fiddler's dong's :D
I should lend it to Vic Police for when they catch the one that's going around Melbourne at the moment trying to abduct kids :(
thats nasty little bugger........NEEDS MORE POWER >:D
I have done some more work on it since and it will eat cardboard, but I do not have a vid up yet,

lol, Gernie, a great high pressure washer :D
Cooking at Ed Systems: Time to Make a Salad.
You need to do weed farm XD
lol, I'm thinking of direct driving it with a 3 phase motor and feeding it carrots :D
Some of them have DC motors, and are much more powerful. I have one that I modified, eats pennies with ease!
lol I had a couple :D, unusual for a monday night but I just could not be bothered doing anything else :D
🤣 you are a funny guy, i enjoyed this video so am now a subscriber, i looked at your channel and laughed, i look forward to watching more, thank you :)
I don’t think you’ll like what happened to this guy: he’s dead.
It’s unfortunate, I too wish he was still around…
@@techseth you are serious, you must be, that is a shame, im sorry.
was there a bolt or nut peace that you connected the drill too? or what was there something in the gear assembly that you connected it to and if so, what?
Cutter that moving on shaft is fitted through L key bolt only.... am i right .... if yes then from where we can get those cutters
build a larger shredder for more fun.
disposed of plenty of "bodies" in it from dead frogs &snakes to a "catch em alive,not for long" rat trap just bait with peanut butter,they come out looking like hairy peanut butter&jelly !!

Too bad it choked on cardboard looking a DIY or hack to shred CB for a composting project you up for a chalange ?
have you tried plastics,cloth, or waxy cardboard?
will a air compressor clean out the gunk between the cutting wheels?
i've taken apart 3 paper shredders, saved the knives, and disassembled the motors- good copper, and scrap metal.
Grain crusher for making homebrew. Grape crusher for making wine.
Lol I did something like this last year, feel free to check it out if you want! It's not the best but it was interesting. Aussies is clearly way better than mine lol
i put one of those bubble wrap type postal mailer envelopes thru my shredder and it completely seized up the blades

THUMBS UP*
lol @ 2:56
nice tool !! i also wanna have one
ok so.... you make a paper shredder much stronger, to shred something a normal paper shredder could easily shred.....
Haha never thought from that side those cheap ass shreddahs,apparently the shredder element has potential for bigger things,well not much.
My mother has that model of shredder... I like your one better, although it appears to need more maintenence without those pegs to strip the shredded stuff out.
The movie "Fargo" comes to mind...
Buat rumput bagus
yes but will it blend..
I'm pretty sure it would eat cardboard just fine if the outcome gets deflected properly.
How about a glass pane
hi mate thats cool, if u have the time i shred stuff with my paper shredder let me know what u think. thanks
Cross brace for the drill motor then you can do cardboard and try thicker stuff. LCD glass panels............
give it a bigger motor!!! :D weld on a nice motor mount and put on a nice high torque motor, switched by a dead mans switch of course :) to clean it i would say mount some scrapers facing downward to the sides. very nice and narly! :D
hit it with the "gourney" what is that?? and how do you spell it? XD its a funny word
what make is the power drill
There's not much to break so they put shitty plastic parts on purpose so you will have to buy another one. Get the stuff from 70's and 80's, it will work for decades.
And what about combs to sack out the material ;) profesional device you can find on trezo.de/en/
Ha that's what he needed to take when he had his Cooking thing with his work.
Dude, you sound a lot like one of the 'concordes! Lol
P.s, everything goes better with 'strippers. 😉
I saw a video of an industrial size shredder like this, they were dumping cows and horses into it :( Who wants hot dogs?
Hi there...could u make a vid showing how u make your vids...what camera etc..stand..behind the scenes type of thing
Lol i'm the 1k like
read the title viscous instead of vicious with all the green on the videos imagine if it used some form of acid to eat the paper.
feed the fingers of the jerk who thumbs downs your videos in it :P
Haha I read that and now I can't stop laughing! The SSI Shredder videos were really cool, creative marketing lol.
That ! Planet !! Chinese !! Drive !! Good!! Bycycles !! And Gas ! Bottles ! And Drums !! Get ! Live !! With Shread All !! Radio !! Station !!
Thanks for the very interesting vid.

I agree with this. The world needs to get a little more proactive with paedophiles.

See my videos. I made a impressive shredder from a broken one
I'd be the first one to watch Ed make food...I can imagine the carnage.
"Hmmm the tomatoes aren't cooperating *throws tomatoes in running engine's crankcase*"
That's a good base to make a amazing shredder, use a biggest motor, weld it to a steel frame and it's done :p
Nice vids :D
With the vegetable matter, that's also a viscous paper shredder hack (:
I guess that means you need a large metal plate or two to protect the ground and tires :D
lol, thats just mean... go on give it a cd lol.
You need universal Cleaner AKA Brakleen and if your welding Non-chlorinated brakleen
if you still cut open compressors you could grind up wood in that shredder then dry up the oil from the compressors.
Ed, I found a truck you might be interested in...
watch?v=q2Vss7W4Irg
Lmfao you are seriously just having a good ol time.
do it use vfd so you can choose the carrot mulching speed :)
MORE.
gerni
hehe oww that brings up a painful image :D
nice, it can eat that paper if you fix it someplace
That's one way to make a salad, lol.
I'm surprised, how could your hand survive? :O
just drown it in transmission fluid, that'll keep it from rusting
Now THATS a salad shooter! XD
Another Aussie tinkerer. Funny and innovative - even for fun.
lol nice, now bolt a huge motor to it :D.
technical specifications of the electric motor, is it DC or AC and how you can connect it directly to a transformer
Don't try this at home. In fact, don't try it at all.
yes shredded salad will sell quickly :)
lol Value for money on that 1!!
dose it work with PET Bottles
Feed it some cheap steak!
i definatley wanna see it finished
Damn that looks nasty Ed.
like theSSI plug
Very clever use / mods to a paper shredder; Thank you
