Irene Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Wouldn't do to get your tie caught in that! :lol: Our son has a tyre shredding business. He has a huge unit which houses a number of those types of machine. Eventually the tyres end up as small crumb, which has lots of eco uses. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 It's no use at all to me, it wouldn't fit under my desk. One other problem, it doesn't appear to be a cross cut model. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other problem, it doesn't appear to be a cross cut model. :DI would respectfully take issue with you on that - you can tell from the profile of the cutting rotors that it is indeed a multi crosscut model.

I just ran the spell checker on this piece, and it wanted to replace Gandalph with Randolph, CurlyWhirly with Curly Whirly, etc., etc. I usually just preview and give it a quick look for the glaringly obvious. :D Doesn't worry me as long as you know what I mean. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the new arrangement will be up and running soon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 The wire is extracted magnetically. I have seen this done at the Michelin factory in Stoke on Trent. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
