Overview of the compass large kit
The big compass kit is a great addition to any workshop. The kit is made in aluminium and delrin with the legs made in wood.
The pivoting delrin discs mean that the centre point and pencil can always be set at a right angle to the surface no matter how wide the compass legs are.
The main pivot point is tightened with an m8 bolt to ensure no movement in action along with m6 bolts that securely hold the delrin discs in place.
The legs provided when you buy the compass kit are 600mm long which allows a 2m circle to be drawn.
The real bonus of the compass kit is that you can make whatever size compass you want with off cuts in the workshop.
The compass kit with legs is only available to UK customers. Overseas customers can purchase the kit without legs on the shop page.
Getting creative...
When the legs become too long and the compass is unwieldy to use with a bit of imagination you can turn the compass kit into a trammel set. This allows you to scribe some really big circles. This is a better system then a standard trammel set because the pencil can be set accurately on a mark by pivoting the pencil holder.
