No. For that size pencil you would need one of the models with variable size.

Yes to all. It has a plate on the front that you can move to adjust the size. The paper on the covered pencils just peels off as you sharpen them so you just take that off after you sharpen those pencils. This is the best sharpener I've ever used. I can sharpen ALL of my pencils...good AND cheap...well and fast.

It will work as it is darker than an actual number two pencil (darker and softer). However, this pencil will be an overkill for that purpose. Many pencils will serve you well for test taking without having to go to this price point.

Yes, my students use it to sharpen my colored pencils. Additionally, it has several settings for various sized pencils.

It definitely will. I have used these on the larger sized triangular pencils in my Kindergarten classroom. Since it is rubber (like?) the center hole just stretches. You really need to work it on, but we use them for several months on the larger triangular ones and then take them off to put on standard #2 pencils and they still work fine.

Yes, it does! It also features a triangle hole to fit the Ticonderoga pencils. As a classroom teacher, this sharpener has exceeded my expectations thus far!

There is a special sharpener that is tailored for this pencil, and it is the Palomino KUM Long Point Sharpener. Though honestly, you can use any sharpener and it will work just fine. The pencils don't come with one.

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.

Most of the Silver ... bits are too big. They go from 9/16 to 1 1/2". This sharpener will go up to 3/4". I cant see why it would not sharpen these bits that are 3/4" or smaller. This is a great tool!

It will sharpen those on the biggest setting. We had a few left over from my 2nd grade twins. We used to use a exacto knife to sharpen them so they didn't get sharpened much until we got this sharpener.

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.

Yes, just be sure your shun is not a single sided edge. I have two shuns and it sharpens them beautifully.

I tried a kind of large pencil and it fit. Not sure of the size you're referring to.
1338588
Yes. I tried it on a Ticonderoga #2 pencil and it even worked on the "my first" Ticonderoga pencil which is thick.

Yes it will sharpen the fat triangle pencils just fine, and I imagine it will work fine for fat crayons too.

I just tested a Ticonderoga (beginners) #2 pencil and it works fine. These are the pencils they use in the Kindergarten classes. Hope this helps.

The X-Acto Electric Pencil Sharpener does not sharpen certain pencils evenly. Usually, I found the standard #2 pencil sharpens best. Other pencils of lesser diameter sometimes do not sharpen enough to be usable.
