Compass Linex 950 adjustable arms model 200-10610 durable design

Linex 950 adjustable arms model 200-10610 is a drawing compass engineered for precision in circle and arc creation. The design combines adjustable arms for a wide range of radii with a robust construction that keeps the instrument steady during use. Intended for technical drawing, drafting, classroom activities and hobby projects, this compass supports accurate measurements and repetitive tasks where consistent performance matters.

Advantages

The adjustable arms provide flexible radius settings, enabling fine control over circle sizes without frequent readjustment. A durable build reduces bending and wear, maintaining alignment and tip stability over time. The compass includes a secure joint and tension control to hold the set radius firmly, which improves repeatability for technical sketches. Its compact form factor makes it practical for storage in pencil cases or drafting kits while preserving professional handling characteristics.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and engineering sketches
• Architectural drafting and layout tasks
• School geometry lessons and classroom use
• Hobby projects, model making and craft applications

Key specifications

• Adjustable arm mechanism for variable radius
• Durable construction designed for long service life
• Secure joint with tension control to maintain set radius
• Compatible with standard compass leads and spare parts
• Compact size suitable for pencil cases and drafting kits

How to use

Set the compass by loosening the joint slightly, move the adjustable arm to the desired radius and then tighten the joint to lock the position. Place the pointed leg at the center point, position the pencil lead or pen in the holder, and draw the circle or arc with steady, even motion while maintaining slight downward pressure. For repeated circles of the same size, verify the tension before each use to ensure the arms remain fixed. Replace the lead or adjust the pen adapter as needed for different line widths.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat, stable surface and avoid excessive force on the arms to prevent misalignment. Store the compass with the arms closed and the lead retracted or covered to protect the tip and extend the product lifespan. For precise technical work, check the lead sharpness regularly and use fine leads for cleaner lines.
