I have so much respect for DIYers. Such determination! And it's so rewarding to see you got if fixed. Also, I love your song at the end :)

That was an excellent example of fault finding...very well done sir..I take my hat off to you..top marks for using the old brain power..

Excellent! Only suggestion is to slide the parts you are taking off onto another dowel rod or a pencil or a chop stick. Then you can just slide them off and back onto the shaft. Also on my shredders I sprayed a little Rain-X which cleaned, lubricated and coated them which seemed to help them alot. My motor keeps overheating so I am thinking of attaching a drill motor instead. Should get some more RPMs out of it too. Then I will have a turbo shredder.

Very informative. Just bought a used one with similar cutting system. It has a jam up with damaged wheels and ejectors. Strangely, there's a couple of wheels outside of their proper position. I was wondering how to take it apart, and you've given me some insight. Thanks.

Very helpful tear-down video for the repair I am about to do on my old Fellows shredder. Only suggestion I have would be to have used some of the excess grease (that was seen on the metal end piece) and put that lubricating material on the adjacent plastic gears (which is probably where it was before it got squished out over time).

I put a sticky note over the lid where the lid sensor is, and that worked well

You don't have to remove all of the shredding teeth. Just pop off the retaining clip and move it to the very end where the previous retaining clip was. This will give you enough room to spread the shredding teeth apart so you can clean out any paper that is stuck without having to remove all of them, without having to worry if they stayed in the correct order.

The one we had sounds like a high sound like how a car warming up

I’m just going to buy a new one! Good try. 😊

What it sounds like it's going to let out the blue smoke LOL

I have a similar paper shredder that only works in reverse. It didn't work at all, then I replaced the fuse and the lights / reverse now works. It's not the sensor, I put a multimeter over the sensor wires and when you click the sensor lever the multimeter beeps in continuity mode, so the sensor is working. But the motors do not activate when the sensor is pressed. Wondering if you had an ideas? Thank you.

Is there a video showing how to mesh the two shafts for re-assembly ? I am stuck there on mine.

Hi, fellow. How can I remove those plastic gears? Looks like they're kind stucked in the mechanism. thanks

your shredder is dried up you need to put paper shredder oil or gear oil asap to loosen and after maintain it my keeping it lubed

😀 Poor kitty

Is that a shedder or a table saw

Why didn't you use tweezers to take the pieces of paper off the blades?

Couldn't see how you separated the blades. The camera was too low.

Sounds like a horror film

Nice feline supervisor there. Perhaps has a bit of torti-tude.
