will it shred newspaper?

Why would you want to shred a newspaper? Nothing confidential in a newspaper.

I just tried it, and after seeming to be fine,it would not do single pages, and actually jammed up the machine so that I had to clean it.....

I am sure it will but not all at once. It would have to be ripped into smaller sections to shred it. It can handle about 6 sheets of paper easily. The opening can only handle an 8.5" piece of paper though.

I haven't tried but my assumption would be yes if it's no more than 8 pages or so at a time.

I dont see why not; havent tried but its solid with regular paper sheets so as long as not too many at once dont see a problem
1190716
Yes, you just have to be careful not to put too many pages at once or it will jam.

WELL,not the whole newspaper <<GGGG>>> but I'm sure it can handle a couple of pages at a time..... Good Luck :):):)

Yes. Might work for light shredding, but not heavy duty enough for my needs.

Yes, the 100X shreds junk-mail. Junk mail is best fed through the manual slot to avoid jams.Lynn,Acco Brands

Newspaper works very well. I tried regular paper that I had shredded, didn't like, too messy. If you would like to contact me directly, you can e-mail me at rbquiroz@sbcglobal.net.

I'm an Identity Theft and Risk Management Specialist and just short of burning your papers this shredder will do the job. Oil the blades this will shred for a long time. FYI with all the corporate information that has been compromised your identity needs more than a shreder to protect it.

It will shred unopened offers right in the envelope as long as it's not too thick and there isn't an actual credit card in it. I've done it without any problems with this machine.

It all depends. Thickness is a factor for sure. Also, it does not handle odd sized pages very well. They must be hand fed.

Absolutely! We did over 500 35 page books on 20lb copy paper on one of our machines this may and it keeps coming back for more. It works the fastest to punch about 15 pages a time. High Qaulity machine that produced a great product.

Possibly. It does have a shredding disk and it shreds soft cheeses, so it may do the job.

I will be completeyl honest this thing is not worth changing strips. I have to open junk mail to shred 1 page at a time.

Yes, it does shred any unopened mail of regular thickness. It also has the "Credit card/CD" shredding slot, which will shred thicker pieces of mail. However it won't mulch through this slot, will only shred into 5 or 6 different pieces.

I have not tried shredding paper, but I don't think it would be a good idea. Paper is going to be a lot harder to break into tiny bits than leaves or wood. I could see the shredding chamber clogging up with pieces of paper too large to go through the screen holes at the bottom.

Not based on operation manuals that are included. However it really only does a reasonable job on flat copy/ print paper. Don't try to load docs or envelopes that are uneven or folded, as they just jam up.

I've never tried it. This shredder starts to groan with 4 sheets of paper. I don't try to force it as I have a lot of shredding to do cleaning out my house. I don't try to use it any more than 15 minutes at a time.

After all, it is a machine and can do just so much. It does shred unopened envelopes to a degree; as for papers at an angle, as long as there aren't too many at a time, it should be OK. It will stop if whatever you feed is too much for it to handle - so you just have to reverse, pull out and half what you put in. I still think it's an amazing machine!
