AFMAT PS92 Electric Pencil Sharpener for Large and Jumbo Pencils, 2 Sharpness Settings

AFMAT PS92 is a plug-in electric pencil sharpener for classroom, art, home, and office use, designed for 6–12 mm pencils and offering two point-sharpness settings.

• Sharpens a new pencil in 5 seconds and a used pencil in 3 seconds — spend less time waiting between pencil changes.
• Automatic stop and broken-lead ejection — helps prevent over-sharpening and clears broken lead from the blade.
• Replaceable helical blade rated for over 8,000 sharpenings — supports repeated use and blade replacement.
• 12V AC adapter with a 100V–240V input range — powers the sharpener from a compatible outlet across that voltage range.
• Compact vertical design measuring 3.7 × 3.7 × 7 inches (9.4 × 9.4 × 17.8 cm) — fits on a desk with a small footprint.

Frequent sharpening can interrupt classroom activities, drawing, and everyday desk work. The AFMAT PS92 is made for those settings, with electric sharpening for regular pencil changes and a shavings box designed to collect debris. It works with standard and larger pencils, including colored pencils, and has separate point settings for different sharpening preferences.

Which pencils fit the AFMAT PS92?

The AFMAT PS92 sharpens pencils from 6 to 12 mm in diameter, including No. 2, colored, and hard charcoal pencils. This range accommodates standard and large pencil sizes, making the sharpener useful for mixed pencil types in a classroom or art workspace. Soft-core pencils are not recommended, so the sharpener is intended for pencils with cores suited to its blade and mechanism.

• Suitable pencil types include No. 2, colored, and hard charcoal.
• Good to know: soft-core pencils are not recommended.

Can I choose how sharp the pencil point is?

Yes. The AFMAT PS92 has two sharpness settings: blunt and sharp. Choose the sharp setting when a fine point is needed for detailed drawing, or the blunt setting for a less pointed result, such as for children’s pencils. The automatic stop ends sharpening when the pencil is sharpened, helping limit unnecessary pencil removal.

• The two options are blunt and sharp.
• Broken leads are ejected automatically from the blade.

How does the sharpener handle regular desk use?

The AFMAT PS92 uses a helical blade and a motor to sharpen pencils electrically. A new pencil takes 5 seconds to sharpen and a used pencil takes 3 seconds. Its top-opening lid and large-capacity shavings box make it easier to empty the collected shavings and keep the work surface tidier. The helical blade can be replaced, and it is rated for over 8,000 sharpenings.

• The shavings box collects pencil shavings for emptying.
• The top lid opens to provide access for cleaning.

The included 12V AC adapter accepts input from 100V to 240V, supporting use with power in that voltage range. Its compact, upright form is made to sit on a desk in a classroom, home office, or art area without taking up a broad work surface. The listed dimensions are 3.7 × 3.7 × 7 inches; allow for that footprint when choosing a spot.

The AFMAT PS92 suits teachers, students, artists, and home or office users who sharpen standard and larger pencils regularly and want a choice between blunt and sharp points. It is intended for pencils in its 6–12 mm range, rather than soft-core pencils, and combines plug-in operation, automatic stopping, and a replaceable helical blade.
