A helpful guide for anyone that owns an X-ACTO Mighty Mite 19501X or any similar X-ACTO electric pencil sharpeners. Sometimes, pencil sharpeners can become stuck, either because of excessive use or because a wood sliver gets lodged in the spinning mechanism. This prevents the motor from spinning, which will in turn prevent your pencil from being sharpened. If your pencil sharpener becomes jammed or stuck with debris, this guide will help you to take the sharpener apart and remove the culprit of the jam.
