Spring type divider made by STARRETT

Spring type divider made by STARRETT

These Dividers and Calipers are the finest tools of their type. Designed for toolmakers and all good mechanics - and cabinetmakers and woodturners - who require fine adjustment and better balance so a more sensitive "feel" can be obtained. The fulcrum stud is hardened and the bearing surfaces of the legs are large enough to prevent any side deflection. The bow spring is strong and flexible, and the adjustment is centrally located in the legs to assure smooth action.

Carpenters' Divider made by STARRETT

Carpenters' Divider made by STARRETT

This divider combines rigidity and easy handling. The legs are forged steel, well-shaped, properly tempered and highly polished. The adjustable point may be quickly removed and a common pencil inserted in its place.

The sturdy construction of the joint, combined with the quadrant, eliminates side deflection of the legs. A quadrant adjusting nut permits fine-adjustments for close measurements. A check nut located between the legs locks the legs firmly after the proper adjustment has been made. This feature prevents the legs from moving in and out with the grain on wood when scribing, or sliding off rough spots when scribing on metals.

Lock-Joint Transfer Calipers with fine adjustment

The transfer arm makes it possible to transfer measurements from the inside of chambered cavities, over flanges and other places where it is necessary to move the legs after they have been set to size. Simply lock the joint, loosen the transfer arm binding nut and swing the leg out or in to clear the obstruction. Then move it back against the transfer arm stop and the exact size can then be transferred to a rule or gage.

The adjusting screw permits close adjustments for fine measurements. After the legs have been set to approximate size and the joint locked, the final adjustment is made by a few turns of the knurled adjusting nut. The joint can be quickly and firmly locked by a partial turn of the large knurled disc. A spring washer under the disc maintains proper tension of the legs when the joint is loosened.

The legs are made of high-grade steel and are well-shaped. They are ruggedly constructed and nicely finished. The given sizes are the length of the legs. Their actual measuring capacity is about one third greater than the size of the legs.

Beam Compass Heads

Veritas beam compass heads

Beam Compass Heads made by Veritas

The radius of circle or arc you can make with this beam compass set is limited only by the ledge you have at hand. The heads clamp to any material between 15 and 19 mm (5/8" and 3/4") thick, of any width. The heads are held solidly on the beam because each clamping knob also operates a trapped pin that prevents pivoting of the head when it is clamped in position. The pins withdraw as the clamping knob is backed off.

Since one of the points has an eccentric tip, you only need to clamp the heads approximately; loosen the eccentric point and you get up to 3 mm (1/8") of fine adjustment by rotating the point. Comes with two hardened steel points, a pencil, plus the brass and aluminium heads.

Beam Compass complete - made by Veritas

Ordinary compasses just don't cut it in the shop; a beam compass (or trammel) is much more practical. Enlargement

Using a single beam section, the Veritas beam compass deals with circles from 38 mm to 609 mm (1-1/2 in. to 24 in.) in diameter. Additional sections take you up to 2030 mm (80 in.) for circular tables, rockers, arches, etc. It has carbide-tipped points that readily scribe metal as well as wood, although the pencil head is usually used for scribing wood. A micro-adjust feature quickly gives accurate settings.

All of this comes in a fitted wooden case that even includes a small brass center pivot disc for use where it is important not to mar work. The beams are steel and the fittings are all solid brass.

Thickness Calipers

Thickness Calipers


Thickness Calipers

Thickness Calipers

Primarily used by turners, these thickness calipers can be fitted into virtually any shape of vase or bowl. To use, open the caliper by just pulling the legs apart (having the spacing nut between the legs rather than outside them allows this), put in position and then set the spacing nut to the wall thickness. Open calipers, remove and measure tip gap.
Made of steel with brass fittings.
