(under subclass 2.1) A machine including (a) a holder or guide for a workpiece, which workpiece consists of or includes a piece of attritable marking material and (b) either a cutting tool, or a cutting tool and means engaging the tool to retain it on the machine, said tool being movable with respect to the work holder or guide, or to the tool-engaging means, for removing a portion of the material from the end of the workpiece to form a point or beveled edge thereon.
(1) Note. A patent to a guide and tool subcombination disclosed only as being used in a machine, or to a disclosed combination of this class in which a "sharpener" is claimed broadly, will be placed in this, or an indented, subclass rather than in the Cutlery class.
(2) Note. This subclass, rather than any subclass indented hereunder, is the locus of patents to devices wherein the tool and tool support are stationary relative to a support for the machine so that the workpiece must be manually carried to and associated with the machine for the material-removing operation, and wherein the tool (generally of the face type) as defined in Class 30, subclass 462, is stationary relative to the tool-engaging means so that the work holder or guide must be movable relative thereto for material-removing contact of the workpiece with the tool.
