shredder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'destructive machine' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'woman endlessly blushing more' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'she'.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'blushing more' becomes 'redder' (I've seen this before).
'she' with its last letter taken away is 'sh'.
'sh'+'redder'='SHREDDER'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shredder that I've seen before include "security equipment" , "Destroyer of documents" , "Office security device" , "Device for destroying documents" , "destroyer of confidential material" .)
