A very simple P4 paper shredder conversion. I'm impressed

My son found two identical "Staples 15 sheet" cross cut shredders in the garbage and brought them to me to see if I wanted to fix them and sell them or perhaps convert one to a tobacco shredder. When I converted my P5 micro cut shredder I chose P5 because I was reasonably sure the shred would work well for making cigarettes with my PM3 injector. It has not disappointed, so far that original conversion has shredded over 40# and has never missed a beat and shows no signs of wear. Still, as soon as I took the top off the Staples shredder I could see it would be a simple conversion. The cutter rolls are two inches center to center...almost twice as much as my P5 shredder...so that means I could make the throat twice as wide and make feeding it without bridging much easier. The shred is too coarse though, the shreds are 3/16"x1". I have heard of people running twice through so I went ahead. A benefit I hadn't anticipated was how well it destems. I am using threshed tobacco but even so there are plenty of stem pieces I pick out of the final product before I make cigs.
Anyways I just did a ten minute trial run. It shredded 1700g (3.7#) I picked the stems out and re ran the tobacco...re running only took 5 minutes, so on my trial run I did 3.7# in 15 minutes. The injector didn't like the tobacco after just one pass...but after two passes the PM3 injector is making the perfect sound (tamp tamp eject) For comparison I weighed cigs from both the P5 and P4 conversions. 20 cigs from the P5 weighed 20g, 20 cigs from the P4 weighed 19g...so not really any significant difference, The cigs I've smoked seem to burn the same. It is early though...maybe by the time I smoke through the 1700g I'll be ready to go back to the P5 cut!

I thought I'd do a video demo. Sorry...I suck. I am impressed with the shredder on the other hand...and you can't beat the price. The pail that I cut for a hopper was free, the shredder was free...even the golf ball to keep my poker out of the cutters was just a ball the dog found in the park behind my house. I weighed out just a little over one pound of threshed leaf to do this demo.

Well we anxiously await pictures of the finished product !!!!

Edit
I apologize. For some reason the earlier posts were not showing up and I only saw the video
