Ledin Spring Dividers with Removeable Points 125mm are hand forged and ground in Saint-Etienne, with flat polished carbon steel legs braced by a bowspring and a clever double bored conical nut that angles and slides into position, then re-engages under spring pressure for fine adjustment.
- Removeable points: the hardened steel points are removable for sharpening by mounting them in a drill, extending the working life of the tool well beyond a fixed-point divider
- Tips: ground to cross rather than meet, preventing them from damaging each other when closed
- Capacity: maximum spread equal to the full 125mm arm length at a 60° opening
- Origin: made in Ledin's own factory in Saint-Etienne, France
Being able to remove the points for sharpening makes it easier to keep a truly sharp tip over the tool's life, since you can mount them securely in a drill rather than relying on a stone alone.
Use cases: daily workshop use where points see heavy wear, precision marking that depends on a needle-sharp tip, and any setting where long-term tool longevity matters more than the lowest purchase price.
