Taytools 468310 Large Adjustable Trammel Head Set Beam Compass, Pencil Holders, Hardened Points

I bought these to finally replace an old but trusty 5 stick with a pencil hole in one end and a a number of custom nail pivot holes drilled along its length over the years for whatever radius I needed. I used that stick for at least 10 years and it worked perfectly for dozens of curves, but I saw these on Amazon and a similar set at Rockler and figured I might as well bring my circle-marking technology up to the modern era.

Great product, well built. Well worth the money.

will be very useful.

Over the last 40 years when Ive needed to draw a large circle or arc for a project I resorted to makeshift methods like the old pencil on a string. Needless to say it wasnt always easy or accurate. I was familiar with these clamp-on trammel points but never made the purchase until now. Glad I did. These are well made, heavy duty trammel points. The bodies are cast metal and the clamping hardware is steel. No plastic at all.

These make a solid beam compass as big or small as you want. Pencil fits in perfectly, and they have a good weight to them

Was easy to put on board to draw the rounded arches I needed

These are heavy duty and accurate. You can easily switch out the point for a pencil to draw or your circle. There is no jumping or sliding and its very accurate.

These are High Quality Tools that will last a lifetime!

I have been making large shop drawings with trammel points for more than 50 years. These are the biggest, strongest, heaviest (cast iron), best designed trammel points that I have ever used. Designed for clamping on wood or metal bars of any length. They are built like a mack truck. Great for heavy hard use on large drawings, and job site layouts. Holds pencil firmly and in multiple directions. Unbelievable quality. Great price. All other trammels are toys by comparison.

There are great!
