AFMAT Long Point Pencil Sharpener is engineered for artists seeking precise, long points (8-20mm) for their charcoal, drawing, sketching, and colored pencils (φ6-8.2mm). This manual sharpener features a helical blade, self-feed mechanism, and adjustable sharpness control, ensuring a consistent, fine point without breaking the lead. It's an ideal choice for professionals and students alike, offering a superior sharpening experience compared to standard models. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, with tracked delivery via ExpressBox.
The sharpener's adjustable nib allows users to customize point sharpness, with an embedded sandpaper strip for achieving needle-sharp points. Its self-feed operation is intuitive: insert the pencil, crank clockwise, and the pencil moves inward. Resistance decrease signals completion, and cranking anticlockwise ejects the pencil. Avoid over-sharpening to prevent chewing up pencils. This model is best suited for pencils with thicker cores; standard No. 2 pencils will not achieve the maximum point length. It is not compatible with very soft core pencils, pastel pencils, or brittle lead types.
Compared to basic sharpeners found locally, the AFMAT offers enhanced control and precision for artistic work. Its durable plastic and metal construction ensures longevity. Dimensions are 3.3(L) x 2.4(W) x 4.9(H) inches, with a weight of 0.26 kg. This imported tool provides artists with a reliable partner for their creative endeavors, ensuring high-quality results for sketches and drawings.
