Wich thickness is good for shreding?

In my opinion the thinner thickness picks tend to flex more making it easier for me to shred easier. I would try the .50mm (Red) or .60mm Orange picks.

Both will do the job! As you said...sheets are a little more expensive. Depending on how much you use your shredder and how often you lubricate it...liquid oil, if you use too much can leave a residue in the waste basket that shredded paper can stick to and have to be cleaned. It's still your choice?!

Standard thickness I think, but they feel a bit smaller...which is good for me, they are really nice.

8.5" max. For trouble free shredding,before feeding paper into the shredder I loosely center fold the paper thus reducing it's size and then feed it center into the shredder thus keeping the shredding activity away from the extremes ,,where jamming occurs. I simultaneously shred five sheets at a time. No problem.

No, I think it is about right thickness. Not sure if thicker will be better, but I will certainly not go thiner than 8 inches.

Either thickness will work. I used 3/4" and it folds perfectly. Initially I wanted it to fold and store in the garage, but the casters are way too small to allow you to do that properly. Presently I am not folding it, and am using it as a utility trailer and store it outside. Other than the foolding problem it is very durable and handy. Just wish I would have bought it 20 years ago!

All what I've read is that one should use it after doing a lot of shredding. I use it every time I fill bin twice. Mainly you just want to make sure to keep it maintained.

got a question here for this. Which blades are bigger in terms of thickness? I know some of these blades can be bulky...

The paper thickness is equal to any I have used. I had to adjust the print area .05 of an inch for my Quicken but very easy to correct.

They are all pretty much the same thickness.... My guitar player isn't thrilled with the picks - says they shred in a short amount of time.. Have not tried the pearl-type material yet - hoping it's a little more durable. The machine itself is great! it's really heavy duty. Overall, it's a good buy for the buck. at the rate you can churn out picks, it doesn't really matter if you go through 30 micks in a night :)

I think the shredder is fairly quiet for a shredder. It does not have the shrill, loud, whine that many smaller ones have. This is a lower, calmer sound -most of the noise comes from the paper being chopped up, not from the motor.

I don't have an actual thickness measurement but it is about like a regular sandwich bag thickness. Works well for storing a loaf of bread or lettuce most anything. I use them for rolls and Bagels so many things.

I would say in my opinion it is a strong thickness, lays flat, easy to clean, sturdy. I would guess maybe the thickness of 3-4 sheets of typing paper.

paper lb. will help you determine the thickness of paper and sometimes ther quality. it will also assist you in the determinant of how it runs in your copier or printer

It is quieter than a lot of shredders I have used. The noise level does vary with what is being shredded.

For my own use I prefer the DS-3. It has a safety feature that stops the shredding if you happen to touch the opening where you put the paper in. It has all the power that I need for my use.

I use my saw a lot and the maximum thickness seems to be about 2 inches. I've tried to use it w/o the guide to gain a little greater thickness and it works very poorly.
