Hi All, What's the width of the shreds this creates? Are all shreds the same width? Thanks!

This is an excellent cutter. Very sharp. Varying the cabbage head angle can create different size shreds.

I do not know how to measure the width of the shreds but they are SUPER thin and yes, shreds are evenly thin. I used to think my hand-cut slaws and sauerkrauts were pretty nifty; now I wonder how we chewed them :) Hope this helps. I LOVE this slaw board, have it hanging on my kitchen wall in 2 parts, use it often, and it is wearing extremely well.

the width of the shred depends on the size of the head of cabbage, the thickness depends on how much pressure you use while moving the cabbage across the blades approx. 1/8". hope this helps glenn

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

I've never measured the width but I think in the description it said a sixteenth of an inch and yes they are all the same. It works great, I did 8 heads of cabbage for kraut in about 15 minutes. Hope this helps.

Sorry I haven't tried this - sounds like you have an interesting recipe. I think the shred blade would come pretty close.

Diamond Cut, They are talking about the blades would be my guess. It cut's great 8mm Average Size Strip's. I like the product, since it will mount on a tall kitchen plastic can, in which you can shred your documents into a plastic trash bag & tie it off, for easy recycling. It will cut 6 sheet's at once, but I do mine one or two at a time. Price versus the much more expensive shredders can't be matched & it dose have a reverse button for a possible jam. And if your doing heavy shredding, it has an overheat LED Warning Light. It fit's my need for Home Office Setting & I do not regret the purchase.

I had bought this when my boys were little and kept it stored high in my office closet and then only plugged it in when I needed it. Its standard sized so risk would prob be same for all shredders. I since have replaced it with a new one so can't remember but I do remember being concerned about it at the time.

I purchased these sheets: Universal - Shredder Lubricant Sheets, 8-1/2" x 6", 36 Sheets/Pack from on here. They are a pkg of 36 single use sheets. You feed 1 sheet in and when it shreds reverse the blades for a few seconds. The sheets have lubricant embedded in them. They work like a charm. I use 1 sheet each month for regular maintenance.

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

I found those bags don't actually fit our shredder receptacle. It was most disappointing. They weren't wide enough for the box and so not quite tall enough either. I don't recall what the bottom is like - but since they come in a roll, I think they're flat.

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.

I have had my shredder since Oct 2013 and have not experienced any issues. I have shredder documents for over 10 mins without overheating or temp shutdown. I usually shred 4-5 pages at a time without amy problem. The micro-crosscut is the way to go. No way documents could be reassembled. I also like that emptying the basket has to be done less than the normal criss cut shedder and can be performed by one person with ease. Just oil occasionally and I think the shredder will last a lime. So far it's the best I have ever purchased.

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.

Haven't had any trouble with this shredder. We shred 10 or 15 min, Let cooland go again, Love the cut. Also bought the oil for it but haven't used it yet.

I don't think the blades would shred paper. They'd probably jam up. And it really isn't designed for large volumes of anything.

I can't compare but I am extremely happy with the shredder as far as quality and how much it can shred at a time. recommend highly.

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

No, I got the large but it wasn't the size that caused them to shred like they did. That wasn't my biggest issue with them.
