I'm looking for a shredder that will cut paper strips to use for quilling. How wide are the strips &amp; are the edges cut straight &amp; neat?

I don't know what quilling is. All I know is that you have to feed it only one sheet at a time or it will jam, and it is really hard to remove the papers once they get stuck.

Sorry, but I miss spoke earlier. It uses 3" paper and you can get it at klingspor. I get mine there and they have a good selection. Use an original one so you can cut it at the correct lenght.

Not made for it. Only sharp edge is on the front. Won't be a pretty cut. Would rip paper rather than cut.... But it will get letters OpenOffice... I have opened a can of tuna with this tool... Fun little gadget...

I Would not recommend trying to shred something like that. I have seen more expensive type shredders struggle with cardboard. It may be okay if you shred in small strips. But it will eat up credit cards, CD's, and DVD's with no problem. Hope this helps

This shredder is not made for shredding cardboard! I would not use it for such a purpose! I do not know of any shredders that are up to the job and I cannot think why anybody would wish to shred cardboard. In industry they do not shred cardboard they "compact" it!

This shredder is a fake. It is or was advertised as a diamond cut. When I received it the cut was regular, not acceptable and I sent it back. My advice, go to Walmart and buy a Fellows Small Cut shredder. Hope I helped.

You could easily make that cut. This paper cutter is really great for the price. The only cuts I have trouble making are if the width of the paper is less than two inches. So, if I had a 2" x 2" piece of paper and I wanted to make it 2" x 1", it won't work because the blade housing is too wide. But to trim a normal-sized piece of paper down is no problem.

Yes - the strips are approximately 3/16ths of an inch by 1-7/8ths inch long. I reviewed this item after buying it and stated my disappointment in the size. But as I said then - IT IS NOT A MISREPRESENTATION ON THE PART OF FELLOWES OR AMAZON. I just didn't pay attention to the description details before purchasing. But if you look at a bag full of the shreds it produces - it would take EXTREME effort to find solid info to use against you. To help a little - I always hand mix the shreds in the garbage bag before I toss them.

Yes but it is Aurora AS680S Professional Light Duty Strip Cut Paper Shredder without Wastebasket And I think it's like 24 bucks with shipping. 6 sheet cutting. I hope this helps...

It is a very good shredder. "Fantastic" is not a word I would apply to a paper shredder!

I find that I can cut about 5 sheets of card stock cleanly before the edges start fraying instead of cleaving. I haven't attempted dividing up a sheet with the kind of accuracy you're describing. Sorry.

How close you can trim depends on how thick the paper that is being laminated is. I laminated many of the tiny paper pieces that came with an American Girl item (tiny money, library cards, lunch tickets etc) and I was able to cut right up to the edge. Regular sheets of copier paper laminate right to the edge.

I have both types of shredders. This shredder is not only faster than my crosscut but offers greater security ( totally destroys CDs, cards, etc). It shreds 6 feet of paper per minute or 72 inches. The sheets per minute handled also depends on how many sheets of paper you ferl comfortable inserting each time. . For instance, are you comfortable stacking 12 sheets of paper and then trying to shred them all at once? This is possible but I confess that I put through fewer pieces of paper at a time. I know others who push the envelope but I think (perhaps in error) that could tax the shredder. So there are variables.

As with most cutters (with the exception of guillotine cutters), this cutter is meant to cut 12 x 12 paper. Of course, you can cut any length of paper you want on a cutter, but you are restricted to a 12" width. Hope this helps! As a side note, do NOT pay extra for the light on this cutter. I am one of the BIGGEST Fiskars fans there is, but this light is completely useless - COMPLETELY useless.

Cutting one or two sheets with a paper cutter like this is like swatting flies with a shotgun. Mine tends to just crease the paper if I don't have a big stack, but that may be because I've cut so many big stacks with it. For lighter work, I recommend one of the Fiskars paper cutters, like this one: Fiskars 12 Inch Portable Scrapbooking Trimmer (196920-1001)

The paper ends up being shredded into approx. 1/2 in by 1/8 in tiny rectangular strips. I don't know if that answers your question exactly, but that's all I know. I have owned this shredder for 3 months, and I really like it...quiet, basket is easy to empty,reliable

I believe so since the shredded pieces are so compact together but I can measure it for you and let you know asap to be more precise. But just by looking at them I can say they are pretty slim and as thick as the paper you shred.
