Ledin Wing Dividers with Pencil Holder 190mm add an 8mm pencil holder to the same heavy duty sprung and riveted box hinge construction as the standard 190mm wing dividers, letting you swap between scribing with steel points and drawing with a pencil.
- Pencil holder: takes standard pencils up to 8mm diameter
- Hinge: sprung, riveted box joint, substantially stiffer than a simple overlap
- Capacity: maximum spread equal to the full 190mm arm length at a 60° opening
- Origin: hand forged and ground in Saint-Etienne, France
Wing compasses of this type are chosen for robustness over the fine-tune adjustment of a bowspring model, holding a setting firmly through repeated use without drift.
Use cases: drawing large radiuses onto timber before cutting, laying out curved components and templates in pencil for easy correction, and marking out designs where a visible pencil line is more useful than a scribed one.
