Shredder that will Crosscut Newspaper pages
Can anyone recommend a paper shredder (crosscut) that can handle shredding newspaper?
I mean shredding a couple of folded newspaper sheets at a time.
I can't seem to find a shredder that doesn't either advise against using newspaper, or as in the case of Fellowes, straight out say that newspaper damages the blades.
Why is newspaper a problem for the blades?
I want to make mulch with old newspaper

For a while I was using boxes of printer paper just to shred but I would rather make use of the old newspapers lying around
(If you go for one or similar, check for vouchers or Top Cashback etc as it can be significant).
Cuts to 3x10mm, ~20l bin. Just under £100.
If you do what that guy does with this output, avoid high winds (or wet down afterwards).
There are similar models; just buy one with a strong mechanism from a known manufacturer. You probably want something "branch office" size. ish.
I shred the stuff it shreds for brown layers, and scrunch or ripup any thicker or awkward stuff.
