Bow divider M214.217 — 600 mm, hardened steel, riveted hinge (Metav IndustryLine)

The Bow divider M214.217 is a heavy-duty workshop divider designed for marking, transferring and laying out arcs and radii up to 600 mm, suited to metalworking and pattern-making tasks

• Robust hardened steel construction
• 600 mm working span for large arcs
• Riveted hinge for long-term stability
• Manufactured to DIN 6486 standard

Accuracy and reach that support reliable layout work

The combination of a long-legged design and hardened construction gives a clear technical advantage when marking large components. With a working span of 600 mm, this divider extends the reach of conventional layout tools while remaining manageable at a weight of 0.7 kg. The hardened steel legs reduce wear at the tips and pivot points, so scribed lines stay consistent across repeated operations. Conformity with DIN 6486 provides an assured baseline for dimensions and interchangeability on standard benches and jigs, which supports predictable workflow integration and quality control.

Built for durability and repeatable pivot behaviour

A riveted hinge is the defining mechanical feature for long-term workshop use: the joint is compact, resistant to loosening under vibration and designed to maintain alignment through repetitive opening and closing. This construction reduces play at the pivot and helps preserve the original setting, translating to fewer rechecks and less rework on marked parts. The solid steel build also tolerates the knocks and handling typical for daily shop use, so the instrument delivers serviceable life and consistent performance in industrial environments.

Practical advantages across metalworking and pattern-making

This divider is optimised for layout, template transfer and scribing on a variety of metalwork tasks where large radii or spacings are required. The long legs and rigid profile make it suitable for marking sheet, plate and fixture surfaces; the modest mass keeps it simple to position and manoeuvre for one‑person operation. Where repetitive or large-format marking is part of production, the instrument supports faster set-ups and clearer transfer lines, improving downstream fit and assembly. The robust construction and clear technical specification mean this tool integrates well into standardised workshop procedures and documentable inspection routines.

FAQ

What range of radii can be scribed with this divider?
The bow divider M214.217 covers arcs up to a 600 mm span, providing large-radius capability for layout and template work.

Is the hinge serviceable or adjustable?
The riveted hinge is designed for durability and to minimise play; it provides stable pivot behaviour suited to repeated use rather than frequent user adjustment.

What materials is this divider intended for?
The M214.217 is constructed from hardened steel and is suitable for marking and scribing on common workshop materials such as steel plates and non-ferrous metals.

Does the product conform to any standards?
Yes, the instrument is manufactured in accordance with DIN 6486, ensuring consistent dimensional characteristics for workshop use.

How heavy and portable is the divider for bench work?
Weighing 0.7 kg, the divider offers a balance between rigidity and portability, making one-person handling practical for most layout tasks.
