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

Don't buy it. I wasn't please with the product. I ended up throwing it away because it wouldn't work most of the time. The price is great,but you get what you pay for.

I had the shredder Aurora AS600SB, which works for one year then suddenly stopped, and now it works on revers speed only. I used the shredder, for the standard bank documents to cute these documents, with width 10.5". After cutting, the strips are about 5 mm (width), and you can work with 3-4 pages together (not 6 as the instruction says). The strips are not straight & neat.

I have a 30-gallon paper recycling bin, and the shredder's extension arm barely spans the 16" width (measured outside lip to outside lip), but it does the job beautifully. I found that I can span the depth of the bin with a 12" wooden ruler and place the extension arm on that for more stability, but I haven't found it necessary to do that.

It will cut 12x12 paper - the cutting area measures about 12 1/4" - so you have a little wiggle room. It doesn't go down to 1/8 in increments - 1/4 in only. But it does have metric measurements listed.

Yes. I have gotten a straight line every time. I'm a stampin up demonstrator. I can cut 15 sheets of cardstock and have every one the correct size. Best trimmer ever!

Ours is also a straight edge. It does not cut the paper. We often have torn paper. I was thinking of running a file down the edge to both sharpen the edge and give it small burrs.

3 of the 5 answers here were not answers at all why do you even waste the time?it will cut some paper but its not always clean. i wouldnt risk dulling the edge. i really like mine, pre approved credit cards are finally a good thing to see in my mailbox.

Maybe 1.25 cm long and not even 0.25 cm wide. I am confident enough to shred financial documents and publicly recycle the shredded material. Hope this helps - I really like the shredder.

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.

I would not recommend this chipper for shredding anything. There are other machines that are better shredders. You might look at something advertised as a 'leaf shredder' rather than this type of 'chipper.'

I misspoke. Model 715 has 15" blade and therefore WILL CUT LEGAL PAPER LENGTHWISE. cutting table is 12" wide.

The black fixed horizontal guides (perpendicular to the cutting rotary blade) at the top and bottom are 12 inches apart, so that's the maximum size of the paper you could lay flat on the paper cutter. The rotary wheel itself would cut a little longer (about 12-1/4 inches) but you would have to wedge your paper in from the opposite side (not on the flat guide, but from the blade side on the right) for that, so it would only work for a narrow strip. This is an excellent paper cutter, but it's limited to the 12 inch width.

The cutting edge is smooth, and not even sharp. But when pulled at the right angle, the paper is sliced off cleanly.

I don't think you could shred paper. There's nothing sharp in the grinding mechanism as there is in a paper shredder.

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

The size question has been answered by other respondents. The shredder has been working well for me, so far has not jammed . Remember to oil it frequently for good oaverall maintenance.

Yes we did cut 8.5 x 14 inch paper. Didn't have a problem although we just did it as a test in getting use to machine. A someone stated earlier, we also cut short edge.

This slicer works very well. The shred width is not adjustable. It is very fine. Around 1/8th inch?
