Outside scribe (divider) — M214.231, 150 mm steel with rivet hinge (Metav IndustryLine)

A sturdy outside scribe M214.231 designed as a 150 mm divider for precise circle‑laying and transfer work in metal and woodworking shops, offering simple handling and reliable repeatability.

• Robust steel construction
• Rivet hinge for durable pivot
• 150 mm range for precise marking

Precision marking for repeatable layout

A workshop tool engineered for consistent results: the solid steel legs and fixed rivet hinge reduce play and preserve the set radius during repeated operations, which translates into fewer rechecks and faster throughput on routine layout tasks. The moderate 150 mm span covers the most common marking radii without sacrificing stiffness, so the instrument behaves predictably when scribing or transferring centres on sheet metal, plates or timber. Emphasis is placed on measurable performance rather than marketing claims, making this divider a practical choice where reliability and reproducibility matter.

Built for durability and straightforward handling

Durability is a core advantage: the riveted pivot is inherently low‑maintenance and resists loosening from vibration or frequent adjustment, while the lightweight assembly provides a balanced feel at the tip. Compliance with DIN 6484 signals standardised dimensions and manufacturing tolerances, which supports consistent integration into existing workshop processes. The compact mass of approximately 0.1 kg keeps operator fatigue low during repetitive tasks, and the uncomplicated geometry makes the tool suitable for both bench work and mobile measurement tasks on the shop floor.

Practical uses and workshop compatibility

Designed as a classic divider/compass, this instrument excels in layout, radius transferring and scribing tasks for fabricators, toolmakers and joiners. The simple construction means it pairs well with standard marking aids and centre punches and can be stored easily in a toolbox without additional protection. For applications requiring traceable calibration or advanced force control, other instrument classes exist; for straightforward, robust layout work, the M214.231 provides a cost‑efficient, dependable solution that integrates well into daily shop routines.

FAQ

Is this divider suitable for marking metal and wood?
The outside scribe is intended for general layout and marking on both metal and wood; the steel construction and rivet hinge support reliable scribing across typical workshop materials.

How stable is the pivot over repeated use?
The rivet hinge provides a durable, low‑play pivot that preserves the set radius through repeated operations, ensuring lasting stability for the M214.231 divider.

Does the instrument meet industry standards?
Yes — manufacture adheres to DIN 6484, which governs relevant dimensions and tolerances for this type of layout instrument.

Can the divider be used for fine precision work?
This divider is designed for dependable workshop layout rather than sub‑micron measurement; for ultra‑high precision tasks, dedicated metrology instruments are recommended.

What maintenance is required for the rivet hinge and tips?
Minimal maintenance is needed: periodic inspection and light cleaning keep the rivet hinge and scribe points serviceable for extended use.
