Sorry, video shouldn't have been posted on here, to summarize what was being done was after curing, drying and stemming the plant, the guy on the video used a "Slap chop" to dice/shred his tobacco.

That guy needs to learn how to stem tobacco. My God, using his method I'd be all week trying to stem 1 hand of tobacco.
Very rudimentary video. I'd recommend everyone NOT do it this way. Most of the video is at a point of ridiculousness.
This is also advertizing and I didn't work on this site for the last year to give my competition a free ticket...that's just bad business.
Video's will now be moderated.

It's really as simple as this...
The leaf might be just a little dry (you can hear it), but this machine shredded it just fine.

Here's how they do it in Russia. You might want to turn your volume down a little.
It looks like a rotisserie motor hooked up to a pasta attachment. Looks like it works great.

That's how my Kitchen Aid shredder works, only faster!
The problem with the shredder as shown is the spur gears are made out of some type of cheap metal. I bent the hell out of my first pasta shredder, had to buy another and go slower.

Some of the cheapest pasta cutters are made with plastic gears. You get what you pay for. Atlas and Imperial seem to be two of the better models, but I'm sure there are better.
Where you buy a product has almost as much to do with which one you buy. A friend of mine owns a tackle shop. He showed me the gears of one of his fishing reels that Walmart also sold. Then he showed me the guts of the Walmart reel. You guessed it...Walmart model was plastic gears, his reel had metal gears...same maker and model. I suspect this is not an isolated case.
with my suspected upcoming crop,,,,
i'd be a fool to not invest in a very nice one,,, first time around, than learn my lesson with junk,,,
id also like to perhaps beef it up,,,, and mount a small slow motor on it,,,
ive been doing my storing in glass 1 gallon jars,,,, and to shred, and then store, is the answer to my storing issues,,,i been letting it just hang till needed, and may continue to do this, once i have 1 jar of each strain filled,, then let the rest of it continue hanging, and age naturally,,,
allthough i do have upgraded, kiln idea's in my future,,,last years kiln i built worked great,,,,
but this years im thinking of a dual heat lamp,,,and possiblly 2 crock-pot's... i plan on making it 5 ' tall,,,,or taller, 6' long...4' wide,
give or take some inches<

You see the same situation with tools, you have the home hobbyist model versus the contractors or industrial model. Same looking tool except a variation in price and color of tool housing, or packaging.
