Bow-point divider M214.216 — 500 mm hardened steel divider (Metav IndustryLine)

A Bow-point divider M214.216 designed for accurate centre-to-centre marking, step transfers and template work across metalworking and fabrication environments.

• 500 mm measuring range for large templates
• Hardened steel for long-term wear resistance
• Rivet hinge ensures stable, repeatable settings
• Compliant with DIN 6486 workshop standard

Dependable layout over extended distances

The extended 500 mm span gives sufficient reach to mark large components and patterns without resorting to improvised methods, reducing handling time and layout errors. Constructed from hardened steel, the instrument retains its geometry under routine workshop stresses, which contributes to consistent repeatability across multiple parts. The relatively solid mass (approx. 0.6 kg) helps to stabilise the tool during transfer marking, improving line fidelity on sheet, plate and template surfaces.

Robust hinge and secure adjustments for repeatable results

A rivet-style hinge provides a straightforward, low-maintenance pivot that resists loosening in a workshop environment and preserves the chosen setting during repeated use. This stable articulation, combined with the instrument's bow-point geometry, makes the divider particularly suitable for repetitive layout tasks where identical spacing or concentric marking is required. The tool adheres to DIN 6486, reassuring workshop managers that the design meets established drawing and dimensional norms.

Practical handling that suits everyday fabrication

The divider balances reach with manoeuvrability: long enough for pattern work, yet compact for handheld operation and transport between workstations. The hardened steel legs withstand typical knocks and abrasion, so routine sharpening or maintenance intervals remain predictable. For users who value straightforward, mechanical tools, the instrument delivers a low-complexity solution that reduces set‑up time and dependence on powered layout aids.

Applications and workshop advantages

Ideal for metal fabrication, pattern making and general marking-out duties, the instrument excels where robust, repeatable spacing and centre-to-centre measurements are needed. The bow-point form allows precise scribing and centre-finding on plates, pipes and assemblies, while the plain mechanical construction minimises failure modes and supports long service life. Its compliance with familiar standards makes it an easy addition to workshop tooling schedules and inspection routines.

FAQ

What materials can be marked with this divider?
The bow-point divider M214.216 is made of hardened steel and is suitable for marking on common workshop materials such as steel and non-ferrous metals for layout work.

Is the hinge adjustable or permanently riveted?
The instrument uses a rivet hinge designed for stable, repeatable settings rather than frequent adjustment, which favours consistent transfer marking in production tasks.

Does this divider comply with any standards?
Yes, the instrument is specified to DIN 6486, aligning its form and function with recognised workshop layout norms.

How does the 500 mm reach benefit workshop use?
A 500 mm span allows marking and step transfers on larger components and templates without improvised extensions, improving efficiency and reducing error opportunities.

What maintenance does the divider require?
Routine care is limited to keeping the points sharp and the hinge free of heavy debris; the hardened steel construction minimises wear and supports long service intervals.
