Professional Jewellery Carbon Steel Caliper Dividers, 4 Inch, 100 mm
For UK jewellers and metalworkers scribing layout lines, these dividers offer reliable control. The carbon steel points hold their edge for marking circles, stepping off dimensions, and locating centres on sheet metal, ensuring your layout work remains accurate throughout the job.
Key features
- Flat-profile carbon steel legs taper to finely ground, hardened points for sharp lines.
- Features a bow spring for consistent tension and a threaded rod with a knurled nut for fine adjustment.
- The 100mm (4-inch) size is well-suited for detailed jewellery and model-making tasks.
- Black-finished legs with satin-finish steel hardware resist corrosion during workshop use.
- Designed for scribing clean arcs, circles, and repeated measurements on metal sheet and stock.
