Compass with Pencil BIC Experience BIC — drawing compass with built-in pencil holder

The BIC Experience drawing compass with built-in pencil holder is a manual precision tool designed for drafting, geometry lessons and general classroom or home projects. It accepts a standard pencil in the integrated holder and features an adjustable hinge for setting and locking the desired radius. The compass is intended for drawing clear circles and arcs on paper and other similar media where accurate circular measurements are required.

Advantages

The compass combines a familiar pencil interface with a stable leg and adjustable hinge to provide controlled, repeatable circles without requiring special leads or refills. Its simple mechanical design ensures ease of use for students and hobbyists, while the pencil holder accommodates standard wood or mechanical pencils for convenient replacement. The lightweight construction supports straightforward handling and storage.

Suitable for

• Geometry and mathematics classes
• Technical drawing and drafting exercises on paper
• School projects, diagrams and craft work requiring circles or arcs
• Home, office or workshop tasks involving basic circular measurements

Key specifications

• Pencil holder compatible with standard pencils
• Adjustable hinge for setting radius
• Manual operation — no power source required
• Suitable for paper and similar flat drawing surfaces
• Compact and lightweight design for easy handling and storage

How to use

Insert a standard pencil into the integrated holder and tighten any retaining mechanism to secure it. Place the compass point at the desired center on the drawing surface, adjust the hinge to set the radius, and confirm the setting is stable. With steady pressure on the hinge and consistent rotation of the instrument, draw the circle or arc by pivoting the pencil leg around the fixed point. For repeated measurements, recheck the hinge and pencil positioning before each use.

Usage recommendations

To maintain drawing accuracy, use a sharpened pencil and periodically check that the pencil is held securely in the holder. Work on a flat, stable surface and apply even pressure while rotating the compass. For smoother arcs on thin paper, place a backing sheet underneath to prevent tearing.
