Ledin Spring Dividers 100mm are hand forged and ground in Saint-Etienne, with flat polished carbon steel legs braced by a bowspring and governed by a clever double bored conical nut.
- Adjustment: the nut can be angled and slid into position, then re-engaged under spring pressure to fine tune the setting
- Capacity: maximum spread equal to the full 100mm arm length at a 60° opening
- Legs: flat polished carbon steel with sharp hardened points (the tips are meant to cross rather than meet to prevent them damaging each other)
- Origin: made in Ledin's own factory in Saint-Etienne, France
The compact 100mm size suits fine detail work where a larger divider would be unwieldy, retaining the same bowspring adjustment and hand forged rigidity as Ledin's 150mm and 125mm spring dividers.
Use cases: stepping off small, repeated measurements, marking out joinery and inlay work, transferring precise dimensions from scale drawings, and general bench work where a compact, sensitive divider is needed.
