But if you turn your pencil with the intention of getting that "perfectly sharpened point," the blades will pickup fresh wood and continue to sharpen away

It puts such a sharp point on the pencil I believe that if I inserted a harder wood I could make a something for self defense.

As a result, the tip of the pencil point ends up being wood, not lead

However, it is no longer sharpening pencils, just grinding the wood down

This one does tend to pull pencils in & will grind off more wood than needed, if you let it.

This puppy gnaws the wood off a pencil like right now and leaves a very fine point.

My only gripe is I wish it wasn't as loud as a wood chipper

Sharpens crooked...like other reviews stated, one side still has wood near tip

lacquer wood finish, granite counter top, panted wood

Even sharpens those cheap-o holiday pencils the kids get from their friends at Christmas and Valentines Day
