+1 on the pasta maker sucking ! There are many shredders out there for sale. All of them (with the exception of one) shred .8 to 1mm. The Powermatic is nice and robust but has a thin shred for a pipe tobacco. Fairtrade's high end shredder is also nice but again, it shreds less than 1mm. If you want a shredder that will last a lifetime and shreds 1.6mm (the perfect pipe shred) let me know and I'll give you some contact info. Cost is about $230.00
Here is mine in action with a drill hooked up to it. Most of the time though I use the manual crank.
