User questions & answers

Question:	Can u use a marker or paint pen in this
Answer:	This kit does not include a clamp for holding a pen or pencil.
Question:	What's the name of the item from this set that looks like a pen with a blue handle
Answer:	Extend arm
Question:	Does this come with an ink nib
Answer:	No
Question:	What is the largest diameter circle this will make
Answer:	Ok, I see you folks can't decide what is the maximum diameter circle it will draw. Is it 12" or 20"? Someone must be capable of measuring. It certainly doesn't make me feel comfortable in the product. I hope you can straighten this out.

User questions & answers

Question:	where is this product made
Answer:	Germany
Question:	Does this poke a hole into the paper? The ends look very sharp like a needle
Answer:	Yes, to some degree. For something that requires you to seat the compass repeatedly at the same spot unless you take steps to prevent it a hole will eventually appear. On heavy paper this isn't a problem as much.
Question:	Is this compass "spring loaded
Answer:	no. as far as i can tell there are no springs involved with this tool. the arms are adjustable with quick release levers for broad and quick adjustment as well as a small wheel for more fine and precise measurements. the arms are very sturdy and firm in both locked and unlocked positions. this is the best compass i could find, i love it, worth every penny. i probably will never need to buy another compass unless i start working very large or very small. having a tool arm that accepts any stylus (marker, pen, brush etc.) is what wins it for me, and also the sturdy and stylish construction. good luck.
Question:	Would this be usable in a machine shop setting for doing things such as scribing metal
Answer:	no, get an old starrett or general with the wing. they are solid steel construction. these drafting ones have plastic joints and adjustments.. not suitable for metal work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a suitable kit to substitute for an oxford geometry set
Answer:	Yes, it's very similar: Compact, comprehensive set includes metal compass with pencil holder, metal compass with lead, pencil sharpener, eraser, pencil, ruler, protractor, a set of squares, and one pack of leads. Packed in a reusable plastic storage box.Item PropertiesCategory: Drawing InstrumentsCategory: Ruling & Measuring ToolsBrand: Maped®Type: Drawing and Geometry Set
Question:	what size lead does the compass use
Answer:	2mm diameter lead... 2mm in diameter - 16mm in length. The compass needs at least a millimeter of lead in the retainer part to be able to hold onto the lead, and that means that about 5mm of the lead is wasted.
Question:	does the compass lock in place
Answer:	There are some locking compasses that I found on Amazon. They are as follows:Helix Large Plastic Locking Compass and Safety Point, Assorted (37279), Staedtler Masterbow Comfort Student Compass for Circles to 10.25 Inch Diameter, Lead and Pouch (551-40-WP), Helix Plastic Locking Compass, Red/Black (33325), and Maped Stop System Compass with Pencil, Red (196510). there may be others. just search for "locking compass" in the search bar.
Question:	What's the biggest circle size you can make with this
Answer:	12.25 inches

User questions & answers

Question:	What size led does the compass use
Answer:	Not sure. Haven't had a chance to use it yet.
Question:	Does the protractor have a hole in it? Required for the school supply list
Answer:	Yes, it has a hole in the center
Question:	Is the protractor clear white or transparent purple
Answer:	Mine was clear white
Question:	will the pencil holder angle enough to draw a circle on a tennis ball
Answer:	I bet it would. Just extend the pencil as far in the grip part. If that doesn’t work a #2 Pencil
Question:	Could I use a sharpie with this
Answer:	No. It's designed for pencil size writing instruments. I don't recommend it anyway. I used it twice and threw it out, and bit the bullet to buy a good drafting compass. This does not hold its position well. I use it for Zentangle, drawing mandalas, not for anything hugely precise, but this was useless.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the smallest circle this can draw
Answer:	Idk about 1 centimeter
Question:	Is the hinge durable enough to stay fixed weeks and weeks of use
Answer:	i wouldn't say for "weeks and weeks of use" - but the hinge seems tight enough to hold the angle for a while. it takes a little pressure to adjust the hinge, which is a good thing in a compass. you may also be able to tighten the hinge, as there is a screw at the top.
Question:	Does this compass lock in place
Answer:	Westcott Metal Compass with Wooden Pencil does not come with a locking function
Question:	Can it hold a sharpie
Answer:	I just tried and it does not work very well, on second thought, no.
