It should, it does everything else. Probably have to keep chipper rinsed out. It does oak fine.

should work fine... I use it for small to 2.5 inch Oleander branches(medium hardness)

I have never tried to do sugar cane but I would think it would it is a pretty powerful chipper. Hope that helps

The shredder self-destructed on me after only a few hours use. I did use it on bamboo, resulting in some pretty large shreds like straw. I really don't know if it will handle sugarcane, but I would go with a different brand in any case.

I've never seen sugar cane before but it shredded live canes from blackberries and they are woody and wet.

No problems of shredding with those I know have used it. The stage of life when this may be most useful could be before a puppy is teething, or with older rescue dogs.

I didn't use the Presto 02910 SaladShooter to shred any coconut, but I seriously doubt it's capable of doing so. The shredder is very flimsy.

No, it is not designed for sugar cane. To juice sugar cane you need a special juicer that uses stainless steel rollers to press the juice out of the cane.

We have never dried sweet potatoes. We use it for drying wet dog food to use as treats but I would suspect that it will dry just about any type of food. I can tellYou that it works well.

As long as it's light. The paper shredder oil isn't that expensive and is just a very light oil, like air tool or gun oil.

Certainly, provided that you use the CHIPPER. The shredder cannot handle that task. Also, be sure that the maximum diameter is 3".

I would not recommend shredding moist compost with this product. I only use it to shred dry leaves. If your compost needs to be shredded in order to be used, your compost is not really ready. I would recommend buying a compost sieve or sifter to separate the finished compost and toss the larger chunks back into your compost bin/pile to break down further. Several sieves are available through Amazon, however I use one purchased through Gardeners Supply Company. You can't rush compost, but I have found that the smaller the garden waste and food scraps that are placed in the bin, the faster the compost seems to process.

These machines as with similar machines will not juice sugar cane, It takes a very specific type of juicer to do that as sugar cane is very hard

I have purchased two different types of the ProPlan Shreds. I think you could add water to it and it would probably just make the shreds softer. They start out softer than the regular dog food portion. My dog doesn't like the shreds. He eats all the kibble portions and picks the shreds out. I have no idea why.

We do not recommend putting sugar cane in an Omega 8003 juicer. It is too hard, fibrous, woody. Will damage auger, and if jams juicer it could burn out motor. I have sold juicers for over 40 years, Ron at Fern

I am not sure as I have never tried to shred beets, but I assume it would as I have shredded carrots and apples. I hope this helps.

I don't think you could shred paper. There's nothing sharp in the grinding mechanism as there is in a paper shredder.

No. The mill will do a great job of grinding dry goods. If you use anything that is not completely dry you will end up with a royal mess. Wet corn will cake to the grinding plates and will clog up the mechanism.

Yes you can as long as it's a thin grocery bag. Thick bags will prevent the door to securely close and therefore the shredder not working.

Using the shredding disc that comes with it does a good job. We have used that disc to shred zucchini to make zucchini chocolate chip cake and zucchini bread and it comes out delicious.
