Holes "1" and "2" are for sharpening the pencil, but what are the red and white holes for?

The white hole and the red holes are for sharpening a dull point. Each color is a different length. This is not the same as sharpening the entire pencil, just the lead point. This sharpener was designed for drafters (and the OCD) who need their pencil lead to always be at a point and not rounded.

I don't know what the queen lipstick pencils are. There are two holes and one is the standard size for most size lipstick. The other size is much larger. They do work greater than any other sharpener I have.

The clippings receptacle is the front of the sharpener.....grasp the plastic on each side and pull....its simple.

you need to pinch together the two black things and pull out the silver plate on the front. Once fully extended, insert your pencil all the way into the sharpener through the hole. Begin sharpening by rotating the lever and you will feel lever becomes light when pencil is sharpened. To take out the pencil, you need to pinch open the black things

Yes, it sharpens any wooden pencil as long at the diameter fits in one of the holes. Mine works great!

I've been sharpening them in a regular handheld pencil sharpener but it gets stuck when sharpening-it fits in the sharpener but the wood gets stuck. So maybe a two hole isn't a bad option.

The holes are less than 3/16" in diameter, or about half the width of a #2 pencil.

That part is supposed to come out. As you sharpen the pencil, the grip brings the pencil in, and the metal part retracts back to the point at which the pencil is as sharp as the sharpener will make it.

Yes, this pencil sharpener has numerous openings for various sizes of pencils, but they ARE all round openings...

You pinch the two black things and pull the silver part out, stick the pencil in the hole, then just sharpen the pencil. The two black things hold the pencil and give the right amount of pressure on the pencil as you sharpen it. It takes a fraction of a second to pull them out and stick the pencil in. The pencil sharpener is really the most amazing pencil sharpener that could be made. We've always had ones we hated and this one rocks.

The two holes are for the little camera eye on your kindle. One of them fits right over it.

These are 1" with a hole. I can't take it apart but I did some measurements and it looks like it will be a snug fit, but the whole should fit a standard number 2 pencil. Since they're wood, You could also drill them wider if you need.

One square for sharpening tool, 2 at 7/8", 1 at 1", 3 at 1.25", two at 1.75". Only my cleaver doesn't fix. The magnets holding the knives in placeare quite strong, so no fear of accidentally pulling one out without trying. It is one of the best kitchen tools I own, and I'm not a great cook.

The size of the sharpener only allows it to sharpen #2 pencils. I have used it to sharpen colored pencils which works as well.

If I remember correctly there are two holes. There may be three, but there is at least one at the top and one at the bottom.
