SHARPENING MACHINES

Sharpening machines are ideally suited for conveniently sharpening larger quantities of wood-cased pencils.

Most have adjustable settings for different sharpening requirements. The pencil is held and inserted into the sharpener by means of a chuck mechanism; the actual sharpening action is achieved by manually rotating the handle.

Many sharpening machines are equipped with a handscrew clamp which makes it possible to attach them to a desk.
