    This is a well machined heavy-duty instrument to draw circles on big pieces of wood or on irregular surfaces. All you need to supply is a beam or piece of wood on which the 2 points are placed. It is far better than even an expensive drafting compass for that purpose. Highly recommended.

    I kept making half-assed arcs and circles using the ole string-nail-pencil. I finally broke down and got this one. Wow, what a difference! Sturdy, accurate, easy to use, versatile, and more. I just finished the template Id been working on for a chair back. I had put it down due to frustration. This trammel made the process actually kinda fun (isnt that what us woodworkers strive for).

    These are substantial, flexible in use of ruler and very easy to change in length of radii.

    I attached these to a 1x2 piece of wood so I can draw perfect circles in a piece of wood. Then I cut the wood using a drill and jigsaw. Worked like a charm. I hate using a rope around a nail. This is way more civilized. The quality of the product is very high. Its a sturdy metal unit, well-painted. A couple of reviewers mentioned that it doesnt look pretty, but I actually really like the retro industrial feel. The carbon tips are also really sharp, so it wont slip in the middle of a job. Worth every penny!

These adjustable clamp on trammel heads are the perfect tool to measure, mark or scribe circles or arcs outside the range of those that could be produced with a standard compass. Unlimited arcs can be made using your custom-length shop-made beam. These heads will clamp onto any wood beam from 1/2 inch to 1-5/8 inch wide. Set comes with two trammel heads. Both points can be removed and will accept standard wooden pencils. Heads are made from tough cast zinc. The points are ground sharp and hardened to allow scribing on steel, sheet metal or aluminum. Overall length 6 inches.
