When do you choose this product?
When do you need a compass?
A compass is indispensable for drawing perfect circles and measuring equal distances in technical drawing, mathematics and art projects. You need this instrument whenever precision matters, such as with construction drawings, geometric exercises or creating patterns that require exact arcs.
Why choose this 170 mm compass?
With a length of 170 mm and a maximum circle diameter of 340 mm, this compass offers a good balance between manageability and reach. You can draw circles up to 17 centimetres across, which is suitable for most drawing tasks on A4 and A3 paper. The quick-adjust feature lets you set the desired opening quickly, without fiddly turning.
Flexible legs for any surface
The legs can be bent outwards on both sides, making this a versatile compass that adapts to different working conditions. Being able to bend the legs in either direction gives you greater comfort and better control over the compass, especially when drawing on sloping or uneven surfaces.
Practical extras with adapters
This compass comes with a replacement pencil lead and adapters for various writing tools. This means you can work not only with pencil, but also use other pens for different line types and colours. The 3.5 mm thread diameter ensures the various points and adapters fit securely.
