Maped Cyrkiel Start with Graphite Tip is a school drawing compass designed for classroom use and basic geometry exercises. The compass features a graphite pencil tip and a pivot point that allow students to mark and draw circles and arcs on paper with simple adjustment. Its compact size and straightforward mechanism make it easy to handle and store, suitable for primary and secondary school study sessions.

Advantages

The compass offers a stable pivot and a graphite tip that produces clear, erasable lines on typical school paper. Its adjustable arm permits a range of circle diameters while remaining lightweight for handheld use. The simple construction reduces the risk of misalignment and makes it accessible for learners developing manual drawing skills.

Suitable for

• School geometry lessons and classroom exercises
• Homework, sketching and basic drafting on paper
• Measurement and marking tasks where compact drawing tools are required

Key specifications

• Tip type: graphite (pencil) tip for erasable lines
• Adjustment: manual adjustable arm for setting circle radius
• Intended material: designed for use on paper
• Size: compact, handheld form factor suitable for school use
• Design: simple pivot point for stable rotation

How to use

Place the pivot point on the paper at the desired center, then adjust the arm to the required radius by sliding or setting the movable leg. Hold the pivot steady with one hand while rotating the arm with the graphite tip touching the paper to draw a circle or arc. Replace or sharpen the pencil insert as needed to maintain a clear line. Use light pressure to avoid tearing thin paper.

Usage recommendations

Store the compass in a pencil case or protective box to prevent damage to the graphite tip and pivot. For consistent circles, check that the pivot point is clean and the arm is securely positioned before drawing. Supervise younger students when handling the compass to ensure safe and proper use.
