Ledin Wing Dividers 190mm are hand forged and ground in Saint-Etienne, built around a heavy duty sprung and riveted box hinge that gives substantially more rigidity than a simple overlap joint.
- Construction: heavy duty sprung and riveted box hinge for stiffness under load
- Points: hardened tips intentionally designed to cross rather than meet, protecting the points without affecting accuracy within the working range
- Capacity: maximum spread equal to the full 190mm arm length at a 60° opening
- Origin: made in Ledin's own factory in Saint-Etienne, France
Wing dividers are favoured over spring types where robustness matters more than fine adjustment: they hold their setting under repeated use and won't twist or flex the way a lighter spring divider can.
Use cases: stepping out equal divisions on wide boards, scribing large arcs and circles for curved work, transferring dimensions from a drawing to timber or metal, and general layout work where a solid, no-drift tool matters more than micro-adjustment.
