Cutting head and wastebasket capacity

The cutting head of the paper shredder is where the blades are located. This is the part of the machine that does the shredding. The wastebasket is where the shredded paper goes after it has been cut.

Paper shredders come in a variety of sizes, and the size you need will depend on how much paper you need to shred. Smaller paper shredders have smaller cutting heads and wastebaskets, while larger paper shredders can handle more paper and have larger wastebaskets.

When choosing a paper shredder, it is important to consider the capacity of both the cutting head and the wastebasket. If you need to shred a lot of paper, you will need a machine with a large cutting head and wastebasket. Conversely, if you only need to shred a small amount of paper, you can choose a smaller machine.

The size of the paper shredder also determines the type of cuts that it can make. Smaller paper shredders usually only make straight cuts, while larger paper shredders can make a variety of different cuts, including cross-cuts and micro-cuts.

Cross-cut paper shredders are more secure than straight-cut paper shredders because they cut the paper into smaller pieces. Micro-cut paper shredders are the most secure type of paper shredder because they cut the paper into very small pieces.

No matter what type of paper shredder you choose, it is important to empty the wastebasket regularly to prevent jams and keep the machine working properly.
