How do you fix a jammed electric pencil sharpener?

Oct 10, 2006 by artgirl | Posted in Other - Electronics

I have an X-acto Model 41 Heavy Duty electric pencil sharpener. It sharpens only partway, which tells me that there is something jammed into the "point" of the sharpener preventing the pencil from sharpening all of the way. I can't figure out how to get in there and clear it out!

First make sure it's unplugged. Next, remove the shaving cup and take a look at the cutter. If you can see the broken piece of pencil in there take a paper clip or small knife and try to slide it out. If that doesn't work, try sticking a long pin through the hole into the broken piece and see if you can pull it out. If that don't work, you'll either have to take the thing apart or get a new one.

Don't stick your finger in there, that's a bad idea even if the thing is unplugged. Depending on the type of cutting tool inside you could still cut yourself.

how to i fix my electric pencil sharpener?

I have an X-acto helix 1900 electric pencil sharpener. I have tried cleaning out the blade i have removed even the slightest trace of shavings. all of a sudden it just stopped working, any ideas about how to fix it because i really don't want to buy a new one

If you are an experienced electrical repair person, you cpuld disassemble it and be certain the switch is clean and operating properly and then try to rewind the motor if it is faulty. Otherwise at the price of a pencil sharpener, it is hardly worth the effort and certainly not worth fixing.

Do you have an electric pencil sharpener in your classroom that has lasted for a long time?

Aug 26, 2008 by neener | Posted in Teaching

I have gone through so many pencil sharpeners over the past 10 years! I buy the heavy duty classroom use sharpeners, and they always are broken within 1 or 2 years. The warranties are only "limited warranties" which don't cover all problems. Can anyone recommend a great sharpener that lasts for a long time?

I don't think there's such a thing as a long lasting electric pencil sharpener. I gave up and went back to the manual ones. Even those aren't made the way they used to be.

I have an old metal hand crank one (don't know what kind of metal) that I've been using since I got out of college in 1972. It just keeps going, and going, and going.

In an electric pencil sharpener, do you go with or against the motion?

Oct 30, 2008 by Matt L | Posted in Polls & Surveys

I've been wondering about this for some time, when the sharpener spins is it better to let it go with the motion, or to hold it sill, does it matter, and what do you do?

i dont think it really matters
i go against, but then sometimes it gets stucks and makes me mad :P
