A regular compass is fine for small circles, but for large circles or arcs the Veritas beam compass heads are ideal. The aluminum heads clamp onto a piece of wood from 5/8" to 3/4" thick, creating a compass whose radius is limited only by the length of stock at hand.
A regular compass is fine for small circles, but for large circles or arcs the Veritas beam compass heads are ideal.
The aluminum heads clamp onto a piece of wood from 5/8" to 3/4" thick, creating a compass whose radius is limited only by the length of stock at hand. Each brass clamping knob holds the head securely to the beam using a trapped pin that prevents pivoting and shifting; the pins withdraw as the knob is backed off. The heads need only be clamped approximately, as one point has an eccentric tip for 1/8" of fine adjustment. Both points are hardened and can mark hard surfaces such as steel plate, sheet metal or aluminum.
A small pencil for marking wood and wallboard is included. The heads, points and pencil all pack into a slim tubular hard-shell case for storage in a toolbox. A simple yet highly useful layout tool.
