Pointed divider M214.204 — 300 mm, hardened steel, riveted hinge (Metav IndustryLine)

Pointed divider M214.204 is a purpose-built layout instrument for marking, scribing and transferring dimensions across medium-format components in metalworking and general workshop use

• Pointed divider for precise scribing
• 300 mm range for larger components
• Hardened steel for long service life
• Riveted hinge ensures stable alignment

Accuracy where it matters

The Pointed divider M214.204 delivers consistent layout performance thanks to a simple yet effective geometry that holds settings under light handling. The calibrated leg separation and pointed tips provide a defined contact that reduces slippage when scoring materials. For workshop applications where traceable repeatability speeds up set-up and reduces rework, this instrument translates basic dimensional data into reliable marks, supporting efficient downstream operations and less material waste.

Built to endure everyday workshop use

Constructed from hardened steel, the instrument resists wear at contact points and keeps a straight shank profile for stable measurements over time. The riveted hinge offers a compromise between adjustability and rigidity: the joint resists loosening under normal use while still allowing deliberate repositioning. At approximately 0.3 kg and with a 300 mm leg span, the tool balances stiffness and manoeuvrability so that it remains steady on the bench yet manageable for one-person tasks.

Practical handling for repeatable results

Ergonomic proportions and a clean cross-section mean that setting and transferring dimensions becomes routine rather than fiddly. The sharp points are suitable for marking steel, aluminium and other workshop materials without excessive pressure; this helps preserve surface finish and avoids oversized marks. The instrument’s simple mechanical design minimises sources of error: fewer moving parts mean fewer variables to control, which directly supports consistent outcomes in batch work and single-piece production alike.

Built to recognised standards and everyday applications

Compliant with DIN 6486, the instrument meets established expectations for form and function in layout tools, making it suitable for metalworking, model making and fabrication shops alike. The compact weight and clear leg length make it a practical choice for layout on plates, housings and fixtures where a 300 mm span is required. Supplied under the Metav IndustryLine range, the divider fits into a broader toolkit that emphasises reproducibility and workshop efficiency.

FAQ

What materials can be marked with this divider?
The divider is designed for workshop marking on metals such as steel and aluminium; the hardened steel points also perform well on softer materials without excessive deformation.

Is the joint adjustable and stable for repeated use?
Yes, the riveted hinge provides a stable joint that resists loosening during normal operation while allowing deliberate adjustment when required.

Does the instrument conform to any standard?
The tool is produced to match DIN 6486, ensuring recognised dimensional and form characteristics for layout instruments.

What is the effective working length of the divider?
The leg span is 300 mm, suitable for medium-format components, fixtures and plates typically encountered in metalworking and fabrication shops.

Can this divider be used for precision bench work or only for rough layout?
Its hardened construction and pointed tips make it suitable for accurate layout and scribing tasks; for micrometre-level inspection other specialised metrology tools should be used.
