Garden shredder (Trumpington Ward CB2)

Viking 250W mains electric domestic garden shredder. The motor works. It rattles and jams in use. I think this is because a) the blades are blunt and b) there are worn protuberances on the metal plate that you attach the blades to. See pics.

I think you will need to sharpen the blades (DIY or get it professionally serviced (e.g. by Wright’s at Shepreth - see photo.)

Worse, maybe an expensive replacement part is required, beyond the standard blades kit. I don’t know.

Sadly I don’t have the capacity to look into fixing this shredder; I just need it gone.
