LEARN HOW TO USE THE COMPASS FOR DRAFTING
When you’re sketching, you want to get your ideas down quickly. But when you’re drafting, your drawings have to be precise. That’s why you need to have the right tools. The drafting compass can be used to draw circles and arcs, and they can be either made of metal or high impact plastic. Two arms are connected by a hinge, which can be adjusted to fit a specific radius or arc length. And the pointer serves as an anchor. The lead is used for drawing the circle, and some models even have a hinge that allows you to pivot the leg when you need to. The locking wheel can be used to replace or adjust the lead, while the adjustment wheel allows you to dial in a measurement. Some compass drawing tools have additional features and accessories, so feel free to look at what we have here at Engineering Supply.
