Pencil Sharpener Centrum single-hole crank sharpener CE88012, manual tabletop metal blade

Centrum single-hole crank pencil sharpener CE88012 is a manual tabletop sharpener designed for standard wooden pencils. It has a single sharpening aperture and a crank handle that provides controlled rotation for even, repeatable sharpening. The blade is made of metal and designed to maintain a consistent point, while the tabletop mounting and compact footprint make it suitable for stable use on desks in classrooms, offices and homes.

Advantages

This manual tabletop sharpener offers a simple mechanical design that is easy to operate and maintain. The single-hole configuration focuses sharpening on standard pencil diameters for consistent results. The crank handle enables precise control over sharpening speed and pressure, reducing the risk of over-sharpening. The metal cutting blade provides longer service life compared with standard disposable blades and produces uniform points appropriate for writing and detailed drawing.

Suitable for

• Sharpening standard wooden graphite pencils in classrooms
• Everyday use at office desks for note-taking and sketching
• Home use where a stable, reliable sharpener is required
• Art and design situations that require consistent pencil points

Key specifications

• Type: single-hole, crank-operated tabletop sharpener
• Blade material: metal cutting blade
• Operation: manual crank handle for controlled sharpening
• Compatibility: standard wooden pencils (standard diameter)
• Mounting: tabletop placement with compact footprint

How to use

Place the sharpener on a stable, level surface. Insert a standard wooden pencil into the sharpening hole until it meets the blade housing. Hold the pencil gently and turn the crank handle clockwise with steady motion until the desired point is achieved. Withdraw the pencil and check the tip; repeat as needed. Periodically remove accumulated shavings according to the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance to ensure consistent performance and to prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

Use only standard wooden pencils that match the sharpener’s single-hole diameter. Avoid forcing pencils that are too large or using mechanical pencil leads, as these can damage the blade or mechanism. Regularly inspect and, if possible, replace or sharpen the metal blade when performance declines to maintain consistent results.
