Caliper Metal Compass | LINEX

A Caliper Metal Compass (also known as a wing divider or scriber) consists of two metal legs pivoted at the top. It draws circles or arcs by anchoring one leg and swapping the other around the pivot, using a wing and locking screw to fix and stabilize the radius. Many models include inward-curved caliper legs for measuring internal diameters, while outward-curved versions gauge external dimensions, making it multifunctional for marking and measuring tasks. Crafted from alloy steel or hardened metal, these tools are corrosion-resistant and durable in workshops. 

Key Features:

-Available in specific sizes, often with a pen holder for added versatility.

-Made of alloy or hardened steel - built to last.

-Caliper-style inside/outside measuring points for measuring outside/inside dimensions.

-Wing mechanism with locking screw for stable circle drawing.

-Fine-adjustable thumbscrew or grooved nut for precise spacing and locking.

FAQs:

-Dividers feature two sharp points for scribing lines or stepping off distances; calipers have curved legs designed for measuring rather than marking

-Inside calipers are specifically shaped with outward-curved legs to measure internal diameters accurately

-Precision depends on tool quality: well-made metal compasses offer reliable accuracy for layout and circle marking, but don’t match the fine measurement tolerances of digital vernier calipers.

-Typical available sizes include 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, up to 16″ (or more), depending on the required marking radius
