Compasses
Compasses make it possible to precisely draw circles and arcs of various sizes. They are used at school, in technical drawing and in creative work, where regularity of shape and precision of execution are important.
Compasses
Drawing circles and arcs requires a tool that ensures stability and precision at every step. Compasses are among the basic aids for technical drawing, mathematics and artistic work. They allow the radius to be set easily and the same shapes to be created repeatedly.
The range includes school compasses for ordinary use as well as technical compasses with greater precision. Some models include replaceable leads or adapters for felt-tips and pens, which broadens their possible uses. The construction also differs according to material, for example plastic or metal.
Important is the firmness of the joint and smooth adjustment of the span, which affect the resulting quality of the drawing. An ergonomic design additionally makes handling easier and ensures better control during work.
A well-chosen compass makes precise and repeatable results possible without distorting shapes. The suitable type depends on how demanding the use is and how frequently the tool is worked with.
