How fast does it sharpen a normal pencil?

Very quick! It has great power. I have a large family and it gets used regularly. I have had it since Christmas 2013 and is still working great.

This pencil sharpener can effectively sharpen a pencil in about 5 to 8 seconds, and it's even on all sides. Also, you will know when your pencil is sharpened when you have no resistance from the sharpener.

At the beginning it worked wonderful, but after a 2 month the blade became dull. Now it take to long to sharpen pencils and I've only had it for about 4 months. I don't let my students sharpen colored pencil, They have their own sharpener for that.

Regular colored pencils, yes. Larger or triangular shaped pencils, no. It only sharpens standard pencils and colored pencils but it is the best pencil sharpener I have ever used and I am a teacher and have purchased many pencil sharpeners.

It is designed for larger lead that you can sharpen. When it gets dull you sharpen it just like you would a normal pencil.

No, it sharpens pretty quickly. It will continue to sharpen until you pull it out.

No. This is not a good sharpener. It breaks the tips off pencils frequently. You would better off with a manual sharpener

I've been using it for 4 mos, and it still seems to be doing the job. It sharpens all sides evenly and there is minimal decrease in the motor although some. It's used in a classroom for pencils and colored pencils.

It is kind of a harsh sharpener when it does #2 pencils, so I would probably say no.

It does not come with a sharpener. I bought the PrismaColor Scholar Colored Pencil Sharpener and it works great!

Technically any sharper wohoweverk *however* I bought a prismacolor pencil sharpener and I never regretted it. Most 'usual' sharpeners will actually break the led easily n often but the prismacolor didn't once. You will get the most out of your colored pencils if you buy it. And believe me, you want to get the most out of them because these awesome pencils aren't cheap lol good luck and happy coloring!

I honestly haven't used it for anything other than regular sized pencils.. It is a VERY good sharpener and I am we'll pleased.

We sharpen several pencils at a time for school all the time, haven't had any problems with ours at all. We paid 9.99 for it, it's a basic personal pencil sharpener. We previously had a 30 dollar one that would overheat and stop after just a couple of pencils, so I know the frustration with some sharpeners, but this one has worked very, very well for us.

You need to buy the Tormek jig that lets you sharpen blades that long. Check on Tormek's web site, it's very good. Or, use their "contact" to ask them questions directly -- they are superb at that. Usually get a thorough answer in 24 hours or less.

Yes. I've tried pencils that were maybe 3 inches long or so and it's worked just fine. I've been very pleased with this sharpener so far. Just remember to kind of give me a little twist while you are sharpening or else you end up with a small spot that didn't quite sharpen.

I don't think it will. My sharpener doesn't even sharpen the regular pencils. It's back in the box, my students refused to use it (was used less than a month and was not abused I guess I should throw it away but it looks good and Spent a lot of money on it).

I really like this sharpener. It does sharpen fast. I haven't had any issues with it. =)

It sharpens a regular diameter pencil to fairly sharp point with an angle that cuts 7/8" up the pencil.
