SPRING DIVIDER 200MM RANGE 0-190MM

A Spring Divider, also known as a Compass Divider,is a precision tool used to mark, measure, or transfer distances between twopoints, primarily in metalworking, woodworking, and drafting. It consists of twosharp legs joined at a hinge, with a spring mechanism that provides consistenttension. This tool is commonly used to scribe circles, arcs, or precisedistances on materials like metal, wood, or paper.

Applications

1. Metalworking:

   • Measuring Distances: Used to measure and transferprecise distances between two points, such as the spacing between holesor edges in metal parts.
   • Scribing Circles and Arcs: Commonly used to scribecircles or arcs on metal surfaces, often for cutting or machiningoperations.

2. Woodworking:

   • Marking Layouts: Helps woodworkers mark precisedistances or create arcs and circles on wood surfaces, making itessential for layout work before cutting or shaping.
   • Transferring Measurements: Often used to transfermeasurements from a ruler or scale to a workpiece, ensuring accuracywhen cutting or shaping wood.

3. Drafting and Engineering:

   • Technical Drawing: Used in drafting and technicaldrawing to create accurate circles and arcs on paper, blueprints, orother technical drawings.
   • Dividing Spaces: Can be used to divide spaces intoequal parts or to measure consistent distances in architectural orengineering plans.

4. Craftsmanship:

   • Fine Detailing: Utilized by artisans and craftsmenfor intricate detailing, layout marking, and measurement transfer incustom projects.

5. Machining:

   • Setting Machine Tools: Often used by machinists toset distances on tools like lathes or milling machines when fabricatingor finishing parts.

Key Features

1. Spring Mechanism:

   • Smooth and Consistent Adjustment: The strong spring mechanism provides uniform tension between the two legs, allowing for precise and controlled adjustment of the span.
   • Maintains Set Distance: Once set, the spring maintains the distance between the two points, ensuring accurate measurements and marks during use.

2. Adjustable Locking Screw or Nut:

   • Fine-Tuning Adjustments: A knurled locking screw or nut allows users to fine-tune the opening and lock the legs into position, ensuring the desired measurement is maintained throughout the operation.

3. Sharp, Pointed Legs:

   • Marking and Measuring: Both legs are pointed, making them ideal for scribing lines, marking distances, or transferring measurements from one surface to another. The sharp tips ensure precise marking on various materials.

4. Durable Construction:

   • Hardened Steel: Typically made from carbon steel, spring dividers are durable and resistant to wear, making them suitable for prolonged use in workshops.

5. Various Sizes:

   • Different Measurement Ranges: Spring dividers come in different sizes, with varying measurement ranges to suit both small and large projects.
