Pointed divider M214.205 — 400 mm, hardened steel, riveted hinge (Metav IndustryLine)

The Pointed divider M214.205 is a workshop-grade scribing and layout instrument designed for transferring measurements and marking radii on medium to large components in metalworking and general fabrication.

• Hardened steel construction for durability and edge retention
• Riveted hinge for sustained alignment and stability
• 400 mm span for broader layout capability
• Conforms to DIN 6486 for standardised geometry

Built for consistent layout and repeatable results

The robust construction of this scribing tool ensures reliable repeatability when transferring dimensions or laying out circles and arcs. The hardened steel legs resist wear and maintain a sharp point geometry, which reduces the need for frequent re‑grinding and helps preserve consistent contact with the workpiece. The riveted hinge provides stable leg alignment under normal working loads, limiting play that would otherwise introduce error during marking operations. For workshop environments where reproducibility and speed are essential, this configuration reduces rework and supports efficient process flow.

Practical reach for medium-format workpieces

With a span of 400 mm, the instrument addresses layout tasks that exceed the reach of pocket-sized dividers while remaining manageable for single-operator use. The extended range is especially useful when marking larger plates, templates or mounting patterns, removing the need for repetitive transfers and improvised fixtures. The tool’s geometry and length strike a balance between reach and stiffness, enabling accurate scribing across the full span without excessive flex, which benefits assembly preparation and quality control in machine shops and fabrication cells.

Simple handling with enduring accuracy

Ergonomics and maintenance are deliberately straightforward: the plain, sturdy form factor facilitates confident hand control during scribing and ensures quick adjustments on the bench. The DIN 6486 conformity denotes a recognised standard for divider geometry, giving procurement and workshop supervisors a verifiable basis for tool selection and integration into existing measuring routines. Minimal maintenance—occasional point dressing and hinge inspection—keeps the instrument serviceable for long periods, supporting predictable shop schedules and reducing downtime.

Suitable applications and how it complements shop processes

This divider functions as a primary layout instrument for marking radii, transferring hole centres and setting out arcs on sheet, plate and machined components. Its durable materials and simple mechanism make it a dependable companion at the layout bench, in jigs and fixtures preparation, and where a reliable manual reference tool is preferred to avoid overreliance on powered equipment. Used alongside calipers and protractors, the device contributes to a consistent measurement chain that underpins product quality.
