- 4gotunameagain 5y agoI am unsure if you can create a thread with such a small depth on pencil wood, but I don't understand why it couldn't be press fit? Just make the hole a bit smaller so the tip fits snugly inside. Maybe it wouldn't work on cheaper pencils due to cracking?
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoGiven that it's wood, you could probably shape it into a wedge and clamp it in.
- hnlmorg 5y agoThe other issue you have is designing a pencil sharpener that could cut a wedge. The beauty of the current design is that its simple to make, simple to repair and guaranteed to work even when you're shaving past the joint. It's one of those situations where a "worse" solution actually covers all the edge cases better.
