That sounds like fun, actually! I think I will give it a (careful) try! Thanks!

My shredder is a Brother's 10 sheet crosscut. It works well enough and will shred cardboard if I cut it into narrow strips but even then it sometimes stalls. An 18 sheet machine can be had for under $300.00 and I think I will get one of those. A lot safer and more convenient than a power saw which I don't have anyway.

Yeah I'm also a bandsaw fan. At work have large 6ft blade can handle large stacks at 1/4" width.

Well after reading this post I went into my back porch and used a cheap jig saw on some cardboard. It was easy to cut small squares. The only thing was to keep the cardboard supported close to the blade. It cut three layers deep easy. I bought the saw at a big box store on sale for about 12 dollars. Thanks for the idea. It sure makes it a lot easier

Well more cardboard sawed up with my jig saw. I used a tote with a board across to support the cardboard and not damage the tote as the blade needs to be real close to a solid edge to cut. It is not as good as a band saw but way better than nothing I was able cut up a good sized box into 2x3 inch chunks in short time. Just do it where the fuzz from cutting will not be a problem. Thanks again for the idea.
