Product information

Spring Divider 0 - 190mm Range SERIES 985 A Spring Divider , also known as a Compass Divider , is a precision tool used to mark, measure, or transfer distances between two points, primarily in metalworking, woodworking, and drafting. It consists of two sharp legs joined at a hinge, with a spring mechanism that provides consistent tension. This tool is commonly used to scribe circles, arcs, or precise distances on materials like metal, wood, or paper. Applications • Metalworking: • Measuring Distances: Used to measure and transfer precise distances between two points, such as the spacing between holes or edges in metal parts. • Scribing Circles and Arcs: Commonly used to scribe circles or arcs on metal surfaces, often for cutting or machining operations. • Woodworking: • Marking Layouts: Helps woodworkers mark precise distances or create arcs and circles on wood surfaces, making it essential for layout work before cutting or shaping. • Transferring Measurements: Often used to transfer measurements from a ruler or scale to a workpiece, ensuring accuracy when cutting or shaping wood. • Drafting and Engineering: • Technical Drawing: Used in drafting and technical drawing to create accurate circles and arcs on paper, blueprints, or other technical drawings. • Dividing Spaces: Can be used to divide spaces into equal parts or to measure consistent distances in architectural or engineering plans. • Craftsmanship: • Fine Detailing: Utilized by artisans and craftsmen for intricate detailing, layout marking, and measurement transfer in custom projects. • Machining: • Setting Machine Tools: Often used by machinists to set distances on tools like lathes or milling machines when fabricating or finishing parts.
