why my royal p70 sharpener will not sharpen my pencils to a point?

My son and I have never had this problem. Could be a piece stuck in there? Is the hole the right size for the pencil?

Mine doesn't ether. The problem seems to be the cutter. As long as I can remember, all pencil sharpeners have two internal cutters. Even when I was in elementary school, they had two cutters. This piece of crap only has one. If you can, return it!

By using a really crappy dull sharpener. The sharpener actually makes a difference.

Look up "sharpie method". That's how to use a marker to find out if you're sharpening at the right angle for your Henkles.- if you don't have the right angle , it's not going to get sharp. Good luck

Mike, you have it all wrong about the blade. It's the handle not the blade (head) it is referencing to hold at a 45 degree angle. I have the Schick Hydro and the sharpener works just fine with this razor. Just make sure to sharpen while running water over the sharpener or submerse it while sharpening the razor head. Good luck.

I take mine to a professional knife sharpner at a quilt shop if they are very dull or nicked, I also use the edge sharpener I purchased from Amazon, my husband does it for me

Hi Marsha! I have a small pencil sharpener and a large one. I got the large sharpener out of my local beauty supply store, it works just fine. I did wait until the wax was barely there.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but don't let that stop you from buying a Paper Mate product. It's a good pedigree and even if you buy pre-sharpened pencils you'll have to keep on sharpening them as needed. Just get a good sharpener. Good luck!

I also have this problem with the soldering iron pencil, the plastic of the thread that holds and covers the tip and resistance was heated and expanded, now the thread does not fit well and be seen. My solution was to put aluminum foil around to get them to hold, I think it's a problem of material and workmanship, for the rest I have no problem.

My sharpener would not run on your electrical supply. It's designed for the US market. Perhaps if you purchased a unit from a UK based merchant. I do like my sharpener. Good luck.

The first time I ordered this pencil sharpener, the pencil sharpener would not sharpen new pencils. I sent it back and they sent me a new one. The second one would not sharpen any kind of pencils. I went ahead and bought a different brand that has worked awesome. Suggestion would be not to spend your money or time on that crap X-acto.

Don't feel bad, I have the same problem. I've discovered that the blades that come with the sharpener works well but the others? Not so much.

For the short amount of time it worked, I did use it to sharpen colored pencils. I did not try triangular pencils. I would not recommend this sharpener. It only lasted a few months and I've already had to replace it.

No, You would have to purchase a special type of sharpener. Most people also use a knife or blade to sharpen that type of pencil.

Make sure you are using the right diameter lead. If it's still not working you have a defective pencil.

You may be using too much pressure on it. It requires very minimal pressure to sharpen a knife. Most sharpeners will bog down with excessive pressure. Try a very light touch with the blade.

I ran into the same problem when I received my sharpener. The solution is simple and quick. First the lever that holds the chain in place has a little Phillips head screw to hold it in place. Unscrew the screw and take the lever out and move it to the left 1 or 2 notches replace the screw. Now it should tighten the bar enoughto prevent the chain from moving. Not a defect just didn't assemble correctly at the factory. Hope this helps.

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