Precision where it matters

The M214.242 combines a 200 mm reach with hardened steel components to provide stable, repeatable marks across a variety of workshop tasks. Conformity with DIN 6486 signals that the instrument meets established dimensional and functional standards, which reduces uncertainty when transferring drawings to metal or other materials. The instrument’s construction minimises flex during use, so each scribe or guide line remains consistent; this reliability shortens rework cycles and supports quality control processes.

Practical handling and dependable detailing

Designed as a straightforward drafting tool, this compass features an integrated pencil holder that accepts standard leads and keeps the marking implement secure during measurement and scribing. At approximately 0.2 kg, the device balances solidity with manoeuvrability, enabling fine adjustments without excess weight. The simple adjustment mechanism gives controlled movement for accurate radii, while the robust finish resists routine wear in the workshop. Such practical features reduce setup time and make the instrument suitable for both drawing boards and bench use.

Built for everyday workshop and drawing-room use

As a classic divider and layout aid, the instrument is well suited to technical drawing, pattern marking and general layout duties in metalworking, joinery and education. Its durable steel build and standards compliance mean it can be relied upon as a daily-use tool in production or prototyping environments. Clear, simple geometry and dependable alignment ensure that measured radii and transferred centres remain true, supporting downstream operations and inspection routines.
