what size (how many inches) garbage pail can the shredder fit over? What is the max size??

Before the unit died, which was within a month of purchase, I had it astride a 14-15 inch diameter garbage can.

In the face of the opinions offered by everybody else, I hate to introduce vulgar FACTS. But, at the risk of seeming obsessed with precision, I used an actual yardstick, and measured the darn thing. The minimum convenient width is 11". The maximum is 13". More to the point, the unit is garbage, and not worth the $20 it cost. But that wasn't the question put to me.

You should have a trash receptacle that has an opening of 10 inches. When you insert the shredder, it fits tightly NAND the trash receptacle actually stretches a titch as you place it in. While my old shredder fit parallel to the wide dimension of my trash receptacle, this one is too short to do that, but as luck would have it, it fit in the other way, parallel to the short dimension (10 inches). I am very happy because my trash receptacle holds a lot of waste, even though the shredder is perched in the opposite direction as usual. If you wanted it to sit in the normal direction, your waste receptacle would be quite small, measuring only 10 inches at its widest! Hope I helped you.

You have about 14' wide to work with beyond that the extender piece will come out.

I have mine at the end of my counter, which provides about an inch. I don't have a problem. In your case, you need to determine the height of the trash can. I love mine.

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

While reading many reviews on various products, I've noticed there are frequently disputes on dimensions. Here are my most careful measurements for this waste bin. Top-14 1/16" long x 8 5/16" wide. Bottom-12 5/16" long x 6 ¼" (6 5/16"?) wide. The height of the bin is 14 13/16".

12 inches is about the limit on this machine......won't handle anything larger...

I am not sure of the measurements, for me this is too small for a kitchen garbage pail. If you wanted something to just put scraps in for a compost later. This trash can is only about 12Lx 12H x 8W.

The DLC10 is a good unit, but isn't being made any longer. The fine shreder that will fit that unit that I KNOW is correct can be had here....Amazon doesn't have it. Hope this helps. http://www.kitchenworksinc.com/DLC-810-Fine-Shredding-Disc__943060.aspx

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.

The size answer is correct, in my judgement. I am very pleased with this shredder. It shreds credit cards very well, as well as all the standard items to be shredded. I do not remember having to wait long for shipment.

Yes the the shredder does expand to fit a larger basket. I've had good luck with mine.

The basket is quite small. I think the side has a small piece you can pull out to extend it. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to double check since I'm currently not where the shredder is. Maybe another customer can verify?

I'm still trying to figure out what works best since we got the contraption this passed summer. I don't think the shred size is as important as letting the paper break down after a few days in water. Be prepared for alot of ash burning the briquettes and be sure they are thoroughly dry or you will get bit of smoke. Good luck.

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.

The product is listed with the following dimensions: 13 x 12 x 14.4 inches ; 24.4 pounds. I don't think you could line it with a plastic grocery bag because it might get caught in the shredder. I never really thought of doing that, but I'm not going to try. The bucket doesn't hold a ton anyways so you will likely have to empty it sooner than you'd think without it overflowing. It also depends on how much shredding you have to do at once.

The strips that my shredder makes are vertical and just under 3/16" wide by 1 " to 2" long. Note that the instruction booklet states the strips are 5/32" by 2" long. For the type of home documents I need shredded, these strips are good enough.

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

Sorry, I cannot answer this question.. as the shredder was order for another building.
