DAHLE document shredders come in three different cut types: strip cut, cross or particle cut, and micro cut. Cut types describe the kind of particles that are created when shredding a sheet of paper. Strip cut means the sheet is sliced into multiple strips. Cross cut (also known as particle cut) means the sheet is cut both vertically and horizontally, producing small particles; the size of these particles depends on the security level. Micro cut means the sheet of paper is shredded into small particles, similar to cross cut. The difference between cross cut and micro cut is particle size: micro cut produces significantly smaller particles than cross cut.
