Taytools 468310 Large Adjustable Trammel Head Set Beam Compass, Pencil Holders, Hardened Points

I bought these to finally replace an old but trusty 5 stick with a pencil hole in one end and a a number of custom nail pivot holes drilled along its length over the years for whatever radius I needed. I used that stick for at least 10 years and it worked perfectly for dozens of curves, but I saw these on Amazon and a similar set at Rockler and figured I might as well bring my circle-marking technology up to the modern era.

I lost one of my old set, happy to find these.

This is absolutely the best. Marks aluminum with ease.

works great

I took some time in deciding which trammel points to buy, and these seemed the best quality for the price. Indeed they were! Very solidly built, easily accepts a pencil for marking if desired, and simple to adjust!

I find this very easy to use and in complete agreement w/ everything the ad says about it. I recommend it.

Item is of very good quality and well designed.

will be very useful.

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).

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.
