Bow-point divider M214.212 — 200 mm, hardened steel, riveted hinge (Metav IndustryLine)

A Bow-point divider M214.212 designed for precise scribing, transfer measurements and layout work in metalworking and general workshop environments.

• Hardened steel construction
• 200 mm span for common workshop tasks
• Riveted hinge for stable joint action
• Conforms to DIN 6486 standard

Precise layout with balanced reach and stiffness

The bow-point divider is engineered to combine a practical measuring span with dimensional stability: the 200 mm length gives access to typical workshop components while remaining easy to handle. Manufactured from hardened steel, the instrument resists wear at the contact points, which preserves precision over prolonged use. The light overall mass (0.2 kg) reduces user fatigue during repetitive marking tasks and supports steady hand control — an important factor when repeatable layout is required in production or assembly work.

Stable joint and consistent marking performance

A riveted hinge provides a secure pivot that minimises unwanted play and ensures consistent distance between the scribing points under load. Compared with simpler clamps or loose joints, this fixed hinge concept improves reproducibility when transferring measurements or inscribing circles. The result is a reliable, maintenance‑friendly tool that keeps alignment even when used on tougher surfaces, aiding efficient workflow in workshop and fabrication contexts.

Standards and material benefits explained

Conformity to DIN 6486 indicates the product meets established norms for dividers and compasses, so expectations for form and function are clear. The hardened steel construction contributes to edge retention at the points and reduces deformation during contact marking, which is crucial when working on metal parts or hardened substrates. These material choices mean fewer tool adjustments and a longer service life, supporting economical operation across many applications.

Suited tasks and who will benefit most

This instrument is ideal for layout, scribing of circles and arcs, and transferring distances in metalworking, fabrication and toolroom use. The design suits both bench work and portable marking tasks: compact enough for fine-detail jobs yet long enough for common workshop components. Workshop technicians, toolmakers and maintenance teams will value the combination of stability, wear resistance and straightforward handling that the divider delivers.
