Need the largest outer most gear on my Fellowes DM65C?

Same gear same problem. Fellowes goofed on the design. Gear likely more expensive than a new shredder. Will not be getting a Fellows

I had the same issue, the "Main Gear" which is the largest gear with a "1" molded on the flat side, it has 37 teeth on the large gear and a smaller gear which has 14 teeth and a 6 point hex molded into it to attach to the cutting blades. I called Fellowes and was told that this gear is no longer available, so I made one, and it works great.

If anyone else is in need of this gear for a Fellowes DM65C I will make them one for $15 usd plus shipping, if you have the same gear that is an issue email me at brianscx@comcast.net and I will provide further information.

If you have a different gear that is broken I may be able to make you one but you would have to send me the broken gear so I can mold a new one. The cost for this would be more then the gear itself because of the expense in building a mold before molding the new part, probably around $35 plus shipping

Wade:

Since the ONLY warranty offered by Fellowes is for 1 year, we are stuck after that. They make it seem like we could order parts but then they state that only if they still have them. I completely give up on Fellowes. Seems their units have plastic gears, but I now ordered a Royal model since they have gears made of steel. Good luck. And stay away from Fellowes.

Hi Steve,

I need the exact same gear for the exact same reason. Fellowes doesn't service them. Have searched the web with no results yet. Still trying.
