Your grandchild’s first pencil? The opportunities for memorable gestures are endless. All of the steps are easy to achieve, the process is fun and the results are very rewarding.\nThis “pencil factory in a box” can be enjoyed by your entire family on the kitchen counter!\nIt is easy to use and allows young and old alike to make professional-grade pencils without woodworking experience or ability.\nMost of the parts of Pencil Precision are CNC machined from solid aluminum and anodized creating a beautiful finish that is almost as hard as a diamond. The plane iron and dies are made from hardened tool steel.\nBy using the Pencil Precision Block Plane with the Plane Sled Unit, the default pencil shape is hexagonal. To make round, beaded or Reuleaux pencils, a hexagonal pencil is fed into the extrusion unit. A series of progressive dies remove material to create the desired pencil shape. Your pencils can also be painted in different colors if you like. All of the steps are easy to achieve, the process is fun and the results are very rewarding.\n--John Economaki\n \nTHE PLANE SLED UNIT\nThis unit is designed to allow kids to make hexagonal pencils without using the extrusion unit. Put the blank in the unit, tighten the clamp and in 4-6 strokes, you have cut a 1mm radius groove AND thickness planed the blank to the correct thickness. This is the beauty of depth skids on a hand plane. In practice, the unit sits on a provided anti-skid pad so it stays put and your  table or counter is protected.\nOnce you have finished the above steps on two blanks, you insert them into the grooves in the fixture.\nWithout changing a thing on the plane, you plane until the skids hit the fixture and the plane no longer cuts. Flip the blanks and repeat to create the opposite edge. When these are glued together you have a perfect six sided hexagon, the standard pencil cross section.\nClamping needs to be kid fr","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0031/0470/2577/products/PP-1PencilPrecision.png?v=1688291819"],"price":749,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-20T16:26:02.581Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_mXnEVdsH","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
