Gimex adjustable riveted divider Cyrkiel L=300 model 214.214 — precision metal scribing tool

Gimex adjustable riveted divider Cyrkiel L=300 model 214.214 is a precision metal scribing tool designed for accurate marking and measurement transfer. With a 300 mm span and a riveted joint that holds settings securely, this divider is intended for drawing circles, arcs and for transferring distances on metal, wood and similar materials. The tool is suitable for workshop layout, metalworking, carpentry and other tasks that require repeatable, stable marking.

Advantages

The riveted joint provides a firm, vibration-resistant pivot that maintains the chosen angle and span during use, improving repeatability. Constructed from hardened metal, the Cyrkiel offers reliable edge retention on scribing points and durability under regular workshop conditions. Its adjustable span up to 300 mm makes it versatile for a range of marking radii while the simple mechanical design ensures low maintenance and straightforward operation.

Suitable for

• Marking circles and arcs on metal and wood
• Transferring precise measurements between workpieces
• Layout and scribing in metalworking and fabrication
• Carpentry and joinery marking tasks
• Precision workshop measurements and templating

Key specifications

• Maximum span: 300 mm
• Construction material: metal, hardened scribing points
• Joint type: riveted pivot for stable settings
• Intended materials: metal, wood and similar workpiece surfaces
• Primary functions: scribing, marking, transferring measurements, drawing circles and arcs

How to use

Set the legs to the required span by opening or closing the arms and secure the position at the riveted joint. Place one scribing point at the center or reference location and rotate the divider around that point to mark circles or arcs. For transferring distances, set the divider to the measured gap and then apply the same span to the target workpiece to scribe the mark. Apply firm, even pressure while scribing and recheck the setting periodically to ensure consistent results.

Usage recommendations

Keep scribing points sharp and free of burrs for clean lines; periodically check the riveted joint for tightness and adjust or service as needed. Use a scratch-protective mat or support under thin materials to avoid deformation when applying pressure. For non-permanent reference marks on finished surfaces, consider using light scoring or a marking medium rather than deep scribing.
