Bow-point divider M214.218 — Metav IndustryLine, 800 mm span, riveted hinge

The Bow-point divider M214.218 is a long-span scribing instrument for layout and transfer work in metal and woodworking shops, designed for accurate marking on large components and templates

• 800 mm measuring span
• Hardened steel construction
• Riveted hinge for stable joints
• Complies with DIN 6486

Long-span accuracy for large-format layout

The instrument’s elongated arms deliver an 800 mm span that makes large circles and long arcs straightforward to lay out, reducing the need for repeated setups. Built from hardened steel, the frame resists deformation under normal workshop loads so linear accuracy is preserved over time. The geometry of the bow-style legs maintains constant contact pressure at the points, which supports precise scribing on sheet metal, timber and templates where repeatability matters.

Stable joint and confident handling

A rivet hinge provides a durable pivot that stays true through frequent use; the riveted joint minimises play and offers consistent pivot friction for controlled movement. At a mass of 1.9 kg, the tool balances solidity with manoeuvrability, helping to keep both hands free for guiding and securing the workpiece. These properties reduce measurement variation and speed up layout tasks in production and jig-making environments.

Practical benefits for workshop and production use

Conformance with DIN 6486 signals that the design follows recognised standards for marking and layout tools, making the divider a dependable choice for workshop routines and quality-conscious operations. The robust material choice and straightforward construction mean low maintenance and long service life, translating into fewer tool replacements and stable process outcomes for fabrication, repair and pattern-making.

Versatile application and efficiency gains

This long-arm divider is suited to large-format jobs in metalworking, carpentry and pattern shops where reliable repeat scribing and transfer work reduce cycle time. The instrument’s simple geometry and rugged hinge make it an efficient alternative to repeated measuring, helping maintain consistent offsets and centre marks across assemblies — a pragmatic investment for teams focused on throughput and reproducibility.
