X-ACTO® Electric Pencil Sharpeners

X-Acto desktop pencil sharpeners for chiseled points

Standard #2 pencils are a major category of writing supplies and instruments for professionals, households, and students. Most pencils have round or hexagonal shafts, about 6 mm in diameter, with cores consisting of graphite and clay. The more clay in the mix, the harder and lighter the mark the pencil leaves on paper. Electric sharpeners are among many pencil accessories essential for those who rely on a fine hard pencil point for taking notes, drawing sketches, or designing models and specs. X-Axto sharpeners offer precision hardened-steel helical cutters that maintain their sharpness and precision with frequent use. The cutters are housed in solid-zinc carrier assemblies, reducing vibration during the sharpening process. Some X-Acto electric pencil sharpeners come with dual helical cutters, extending the life of the sharpening system. X-Axto sharpeners have attractive, contemporary, compact casings that take up little room on an office desktop or home countertop.

Enhanced cutting efficiency

Many office supplies are safe and efficient. This is especially true of X-Acto pencil sharpeners, which come with cupped rubber feet so the sharpeners remain in place on the desktop during the sharpening action, and require just one hand for use. X-Acto’s innovative Pencil Saver® technology also conserves on pencil use, with an internal stop when the point reaches sharpness. In addition, its proprietary Smart Stop system has an LED light to show when cutting is complete. Large shavings receptacles reduce the number of times they have to be emptied after multiple use.

X-Acto pencil sharpeners have reliable, durable motors

X-Acto’s patented motor systems extend the life of the machine, and to keep them working with frequent, multiple use. The high-performance motors also offer several smart features:

• Auto-Reset™ thermal-overload mechanism to shut the motor off before overheating
• Internal circuitry to prevent any electrical draw when not in use
• Proprietary SafeStart systems that prevent sharpening until shavings receptacles are in place
• Ultra-low decibel motor and sharpening action, soft enough to use and hold a phone conversation at the same time

X-Axto also offers heavy duty pencil sharpeners, and those designed for moderate home or office use.
