Broken gear on your paper shredder? Don’t throw it out! Print a new one!
I had this industrial paper shredder forever, it always had one broken tooth on the main drive gear that made a cringe-able thump every rotation. (Hence why I acquired it for free :) )
Info of the shredder: The worn sticker says”world ssc5″ after some research I found it to also be known as the “CCS 5000 Achiever”
After many years of use and abuse I finally gave up when the thump became louder and it was very apparent that the gears were slipping now.
Another tooth was broken! Is this the end of my shredder?

I heated up the chips first on the plate then applied a drop of nitric acid. Rinsed with water, heated again then a drop of sulfuric acid water rinse. Then repeated till the dies were exposed.
