Wing Compass
MODEL NO- ML-065
DESCRIPTION
In the metalworking field, a divider caliper, popularly called a compass, is used in the process of marking out locations. The points are sharpened so that they act as scribers, one leg can then be placed in the dimple created by a center or prick punch and the other leg pivoted so that it scribes a line on the work piece’s surface, thus forming an arc or circle.
A divider caliper is also used to measure a distance between two points on a map. The two caliper’s ends are brought to the two points whose distance is being measured. The caliper’s opening is then either measured on a separate ruler or then converted to the actual distance, or it is measured directly on a scale drawn on the map.
FEATURES
- Fulcrum stud is hardened
- Bearing surfaces of the legs are large enough to prevent side deflection
