Having taken mental notes
for years on what feature were lacking in the compasses
that I found available, I finally designed one that has
every one of those features. It has articulated arms
that allow both points to be perpendicular to the work
no matter how wide you spread it. It will hold not just
standard size pencils, but much bigger marking pens, and
my favorite, a metal etching pen. All the joints have
socket screws that can be tightened as tight as you
desire with the included hex key so there is no chance
of it changing its setting in the middle of drawing a
circle.

It spreads out enough to
draw a 25" circle, as shown above. Below, one of the
biggest advantages for those who do raising, you can
easily make concentric circles on a domed form, even if
the sides are raised up to 90°. Constructed of 304
stainless steel, it is sturdy enough for whatever abuse
you can dish out, and will be a useful tool for
generations to come.
Price: $55.00,
