For large drawings and technical designs
A compass is used to draw perfectly round circles and arcs where an ordinary ruler falls short. This large Faber-Castell compass has been specially developed for large-scale drawings where you need circles up to 340 mm in diameter. You choose this instrument when working on technical drawings, architectural plans or educational projects where precision and a large range are essential.

Why this large size is the right choice
At a length of 170 mm, this compass is one of the larger models in its category. The 340 mm diameter range makes it ideal for situations where standard compasses are too small. You need these dimensions when drawing large floor plans, making scale models or for educational applications where you work on large-format paper.

Stable construction for accurate results
The sturdy gear mechanism in the compass head ensures smooth movement of the legs without play. This technical solution prevents the compass from shifting or wobbling while you draw. The ribbed compass head and non-slip needle and pencil holder clamp give you extra grip and control, which is especially important when drawing large circles, where every movement is magnified.

Practical tip for long-term use
This compass is supplied with a spare-pencil box, so you always have replacement pencils to hand. Be sure to check the needle point regularly for wear and tighten the pencil holder clamp securely before you start drawing. For best results, use this compass on a stable, flat surface and apply light, even pressure.
