The pivoting part of a beam compass allowing you to make a compass to your own requirements.
The block can be use in a number of configurations using wood or aluminium arms/beams or a combination of both.
It uses threaded m4 steel barrel nuts to secure all the attachments. These nuts and all the bolts used are easily replaceable when the threads eventually wear.
When using 20mm wooden beams there are 3 options for fixing the beam in the 20mm slot.
For most applications the 20mm slot is more suitable for using wooden beams.
The 1″ slot is predominantly designed to hold the aluminium beam although you can use 1″ wooden beams.
