The motor really changed the game with Shredii. It was a bit of a challenge to attach the motor since both the motor and Shredii are quite heavy, but once together it was definitely worth it!

Finally got my Shredii 6! It feels like a beast. Also got the tall safety funnel to throw more stuff in at a time. I'm happy with my purchase.

I purchased the SherdII and down loaded the round safely cover. But I needed a taller cover. I contacted customer service and a very nice gentleman responded. I explained what I was looking for. He had design create a file for me to download. I printed it and it works great. It was just what I needed. Their customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them.

I just finished the assembly and delivered the finished shredder to my former employer. The assembly was easy however the two holes to secure the gear cover were not tapped. The shredder will be used to breakdown plastic parts that have failed production so that Melt Flow Analysis can be performed on the plastic. In order to perform Melt Flow Index testing, you need to have the plastic ground up into manageable chunks. The plan is to use SHREDII to grind up the questionable plastic when we have to analyze a future production problem.

This shredder works great, especially with plastics. The hand crank is a nice to have, but I think I'll stick to using motor.
