Fellowes Powershred 8MC Micro Cut Shredder
The Fellowes Powershred 8MC is a micro-cut shredder built for personal desks that need stronger security than a standard cross-cut model. It shreds up to 8 sheets per pass, cutting documents into fine 3 x 10mm micro-cut particles rated at DIN P-4 security level — a step above the P-3 rating typical of entry-level cross-cut shredders. The unit also shreds staples and credit cards, though it isn’t rated for paper clips or CDs. A patented Safety Lock disables the shredder for added protection, and a 3.8-gallon (approx. 14-litre) bin with an easy lift-off head keeps the unit simple to maintain for everyday personal use.
