Couldn't load pickup availability
A Level 3 cross cut shredder designed for the medium size office. The F-5X2 shredder is engineered to give many years of trouble free use. Built with a cutting head precision milled from solid blocks of Solingen steel and housed in an all steel frame, the F-5X2 will easily handle credit cards as well as paper clips and staples. A Thermally Protected Motor, Chain Drive and Steel Gears all provide for maximum slip-free power. The All Metal Drive system uses no internal nylon or plastic gears as is common in lower quality shredders. The Energy Management System places the shredder in a sleep mode when idle and completely powers down after 30 minutes of inactivity. The operator control pad includes all the functions of the shredder and a safety interlock shuts off the shredder when the bag is full or the door is open. An Auto-Reverse feature prevents overfeeding and reduces jamming. The rubber shock mounts isolate the cutting head noise and vibration and an attractive wood sound deadening cabinet provides for quiet dust-free operation. Swivel casters allow for easy mobility. Includes a Lifetime Warranty on cutters.

Product FAQs
Questions About F-5X2 Deskside Cross Cut Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the F-5X2 secure enough for HR and financial records?
Yes — the F-5X2 deskside cross-cut paper shredder cuts to a P-4 security level (1/8" x 1-9/16" particles), which comfortably covers HR files, financial records, and most day-to-day confidential business documents.
What's the difference between the F-5X2's cross-cut and a basic strip-cut shredder?
Strip-cut shredders slice paper into long strips that can potentially be pieced back together. The F-5X2's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the F-5X2 handle per pass?
The F-5X2 pulls 9-11 sheets per pass at 20 FPM, with a 11 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. For a deskside paper shredder, that is practical capacity for everyday confidential-document shredding without constantly emptying the bin.
What day-to-day features does the F-5X2 offer?
The F-5X2 includes hands-free auto start/stop, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. It's compact enough to fit under a desk or in a corner — 28"h x 17"w x 13-3/4"d.
Who is the F-5X2 designed for?
The F-5X2 is sized for deskside or small-team use — enough capacity and bin size to handle routine shredding without becoming a maintenance chore, without the footprint of a full central shred-room unit.
