Divider KS Tools 300.0416 Steel 200 mm Length 150 mm

The KS Tools 300.0416 divider is a precise metal marking and measuring tool made from durable steel. With a formatted dimension of 200 mm and an actual leg length of 150 mm, this divider provides reliable rigidity and repeatable accuracy for layout and scribing tasks on a range of materials. Its compact mass of approximately 135 g makes it easy to handle while maintaining stability during use. The tool is intended for accurate distance transfer, marking arcs, and dividing surfaces where consistent spacing is required.

Advantages

The steel construction ensures long-term wear resistance and dimensional stability under normal workshop conditions. The 150 mm leg length offers a balance between reach and control, allowing precise marking without excessive flex. The tool’s design supports fine adjustment and secure clamping of the legs for consistent measurements. Its relatively light weight contributes to comfortable sustained use while still providing a solid feel for accurate scribing.

Suitable for

• Transferring precise distances on metal, wood, and plastic workpieces
• Marking arcs and center points for drilling and machining
• Layout work in metalworking, carpentry, and model making
• Dividing edges and marking equal intervals for fabrication

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Overall format dimension: 200 mm
• Leg length (working length): 150 mm
• Weight: approximately 135 g
• Function: measuring, scribing, distance transfer

How to use

Hold the divider by the hinge or the upper portion of the legs and adjust the leg span to the required distance. Tighten the hinge or locking mechanism to secure the setting, then place one point on the reference location and scribe with the other point to transfer the measurement or mark an arc. For repeated marks, verify the leg span periodically to maintain accuracy. Use appropriate pressure to avoid chipping or damaging softer materials.

Usage recommendations

Store the divider in a protective case or tool drawer to prevent corrosion and tip damage; clean and lightly oil the hinge periodically for smooth adjustment. Use sharpened or rounded points depending on whether you are marking metal or softer materials to achieve the desired mark quality.
