Does this model automatically stop when the pencil is sharpened?

It doesn't have a sensor and stops the rotation, but it cycles "empty"or idle. Hope that answers your question. (Sorry for the delay..)

Yes, it does stop when pencil is sharp. My model provides a choice of very sharp point or slightly dull point.

Most sharpeners say warranty is void if you use color pencil. I don't know specifically about this one.

Yes - it has a dial to select the diameter of the pencil you want to sharpen so it works for standard and fat pencils.

When I use the Ticonderoga pencils, yes it does. Sharpens quickly into a long sharp point. But, when I use an off brand pencil they do not sharpen very well.

Just gently insert a pencil into the opening, give a slight push, and sharpen away--unless of course, you have a defective unit. I bought mine in October of 2013, and it continues to give excellent service. See my 5 star review.

Good question. I use these pencils almost every day for the last 10+ years. I don't think I've purchased more than 3 or 4 of them due to their durability. I've never noticed the word "automatic" in the title until you asked this question. I suppose, in Clintonian terms, it depends on the definition of "automatic". I suspect it refers to the process of the lead "automatically" loading into the pencil barrel when you push on the top of the pencil to load a new piece of lead. Short of contacting Pentel, I wish you good luck on finding the answer.

I've purchased several of these at Sam's Club, each time hoping the previous one was just a lemon. I think the model is a lemon. One stopped working a minute after plugging it in. When working, they sharpen fast, but I don't think you should buy one!

I have never heard of an auto-sharpener. Knowing how the chain saw blade teeth have the sharp edge on the inside of each tooth I can't imagine how an auto sharpener could even work. I think that someone may be pulling your leg! I use a small file and it works just file.

Blade does not quit when pencil is sharpen. It sharpens with in seconds. The motor does stop when you remove the pencil.

I just use a regular electric sharpener, a small battery operated. Never had any problem. I love these pencils.

I'm not sure..... I tend not to use the eraser on the pencil (I prefer using a Staedler Mars plastic eraser). Sorry I couldn't be more help.

We have the model 610 and as of yet, have not had to use the sharpener. It was advertized as working for the 609, 610 and others...

This model does have any kind of auto stop. Of course, you can look over and see when you've reached the end of the record. (Recording through the USB connection isn't affected if you have your speakers on too)

I had very similar one and used like 20 years. I assume something stuck in/round blade which happens sometimes. I assume center core of pencil remains inside the blade. I recommend to clean. As long as your students use appropriately, it should last years.

Yes it is, or so it says on the cutting blade. I will add that this is a very nice sharpener for artist's quality colored pencils. I couldn't say how long the blade will last as I've not had it all that long. The only downside I can think of for this sharpener is that you need something to catch the shavings in.

Yes, it will automatically shut itself off. If you want to keep brushing, just push the start button again.

Yes. It turns off automatically once all the ingredients are blended thoroughly.
