M214.205.H Carbide‑point divider, 400 mm — hardened steel, rivet hinge | Metav IndustryLine

M214.205.H is a precision marking divider designed for transferring measurements and scribing arcs in metalworking and general workshop applications.

• Carbide points for long service life
• Rivet hinge for stable, repeatable adjustment
• Hardened steel body for high rigidity
• 400 mm span for broad marking range

Precise, durable marking for repeatable workflows

The divider combines a hardened steel shaft with carbide points, delivering a tool that resists wear while maintaining sharp contact with workpieces. The rivet hinge provides a stable pivot that minimises play over repeated adjustments, which translates into repeatable marking and reduced rework. For layout tasks where conformity and traceability matter, this construction reduces measurement drift and keeps setup times short, supporting efficient production cycles.

Confident handling and ergonomic control

At 400 mm span the instrument balances reach and manoeuvrability: enough extension for larger components while remaining light at 0.44 kg for single‑handed positioning. The geometry of the legs is optimised for rigidity, so transfer lines stay true even when scribing around contours. The carbide tips ensure crisp marking on hardened or coated surfaces, offering a reliable alternative to soft‑point scribes where longevity and consistent line width are required.

Built to industry standards and workshop realities

Manufactured in accordance with DIN 6486, the divider is suitable for daily use in metal fabrication, prototyping and toolroom tasks. The robust materials and finish mean the instrument withstands routine abrasion and knocks on the bench without losing alignment. The tool is ideal for layout on steel and similar metals, where the combination of hardened steel and carbide tips provides longevity and low maintenance compared with softer alternatives.

Practical use cases and maintenance guidance

This divider is intended for marking, transferring measurements and scribing arcs on components and jigs. Simple cleaning and occasional lubrication of the hinge preserve the precise motion of the rivet joint; carbide points can be honed carefully if the line quality degrades. Because of its construction, the instrument excels in tasks requiring durable, high‑contrast scribe lines and benefits workshops seeking a low‑service, long‑life marking tool.

FAQ

What materials is this divider suitable for?
The M214.205.H divider is built from hardened steel with carbide tips, making it suitable for marking on steel and comparable metals where durable, repeatable scribe lines are required.

How does the rivet hinge affect accuracy?
A rivet hinge provides a stable pivot that minimises play; this design in the M214.205.H ensures repeatable adjustment and consistent marking over many cycles.

Can the carbide points be re‑sharpened?
Yes, the carbide tips on the divider can be carefully honed to restore line quality; use fine diamond stones and avoid excessive material removal.
