{"product_id":"caran-dache-pencil-sharpening-machine","title":"Caran d'Ache Pencil Sharpening Machine","description":"The Caran d'Ache Pencil Sharpening Machine is a functional design classic — originally engineered in 1933 and still the benchmark for professional pencil sharpening in studio environments. Built entirely from heavy-duty cast iron and solid metal, it mounts firmly to any studio table or workbench via an integrated desk clamp and handles any round, hexagonal, or faceted pencil from 4mm up to 10mm in diameter — covering everything from standard graphite pencils through to the larger pastel and colored pencil formats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe key practical feature is the point adjustment dial on the crank handle, which regulates the sharpness of the point from a razor-sharp technical tip down to a blunt, flat point suited for softer pastel and wax cores. Internal cutting wheels are fully replaceable, making this a lifetime studio investment rather than a disposable tool. Available freestanding or permanently clamped to the desk surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Heavy-duty cast iron and solid metal construction, industrial grey finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePencil compatibility: Round, hexagonal, or faceted pencils — 4 mm to 10 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutter: Precision-milled cylindrical steel cutting wheel (fully replaceable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint adjustment: Adjustable via crank handle dial — razor-sharp technical tip to flat blunt point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing system: Freestanding or desk-clamped via supplied metal brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Swiss Made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAQ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pencil sizes does this sharpener accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e It accepts any pencil between 4mm and 10mm in diameter — covering standard graphite pencils, hexagonal barrels, and larger format colored pencil and pastel pencil casings including the Caran d'Ache Pablo (3.7mm core, standard barrel) and Pastel pencils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan the point sharpness be adjusted for softer pencil types?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
