Sector compass Metrica

What it is

Sector compass Metrica. Key specifications: section Square, heavy-duty range, bits hardened steel, equipment supplied guides and locking.

A compass, or pair of dividers, is an instrument with two hinged legs for scribing circles and arcs, transferring measurements or, in inside and outside caliper versions, comparing diameters.

What it is for

Used for measuring on site and in the workshop and for marking out lines, dimensions and reference points before work begins.

How to use it

Open the compass to the required measurement, taken from a rule or a sample part, and lock it with the screw or spring. To scribe, set one leg at the centre and rotate the other with light, steady pressure. For diameters, bring the points into contact with the workpiece without forcing, then read the opening on a caliper or rule.
