Outside scribing compass M214.235 — 400 mm rivet‑hinged steel layout compass (Metav IndustryLine)

The Outside scribing compass M214.235 is a rivet‑hinged layout instrument designed for precise external marking and circle scribing on medium‑sized components in workshop and production environments.

400 mm reach for large layouts
Rivet hinge for secure joint play
Steel construction for durable use
Conforms to DIN 6484 standards

Extended reach for larger components that stays stiff

The 400 mm reach places this instrument in the medium‑range class (300–500 mm), which is ideal for layout tasks that require both reach and controllable stiffness. The longer legs reduce the need for repositioning when transferring centre points or scribing radii on flanges, housings and panels, while the rivet connection maintains a consistent pivot action. This combination streamlines marking operations and reduces rework by ensuring repeatable geometry across multiple parts.

Stable joint and materials that support repeatability

A rivet‑hinged joint provides a secure, low‑play articulation that resists loosening during routine use; this helps preserve the original setting and improves repeatability between operations. Constructed from steel, the instrument balances resistance to wear with the rigour required for daily workshop handling. Compliance with DIN 6484 documents the product’s suitability for industrial marking standards and supports a predictable quality baseline for procurement and inspection processes.

Designed to increase marking efficiency and clarity

The layout compass facilitates clear, visible scribed lines for machining and assembly references, reducing interpretation time at the machine bench. The tool’s geometry and robust materials enable steady handling during single‑operator tasks and when working on multiple identical components. Marking workflows benefit from fewer measurement transfers and a lower risk of cumulative error, which translates directly into time saved and fewer scrapped parts.
