Drum toothing.

That looks downright medieval. Like some horrific torture device.
Sorry, my mind goes to dark places sometimes.

That certainly made to tear something up ! Gives me the creeps.

presume it's some form of shredder - for fibrous materials - too coarse for carding

Looks to be exactly what I need for a plastic shredder I need to build someday so I can prepare to melt down over 200 lbs of drink bottles

I like the high tech weight system! Is the guy at :07 only wearing socks?

The teeth are not fixed to the shaft must be for rippping cardboard or plastic ( or fingers).

They will be made into individual circular blades...

Not sure how that would be accomplished since the tooth pitch is wound around the drum as a spiral helix from a continuous ribbon

and the tooth pitch is not welded to the shaft. It would be interesting to learn more. The counter weight is great.
