## Summary description

Maped 196100 bow compass with an aluminium body and black and red accents. Designed for drawing precise circles and arcs on paper, the compass features a sturdy metal construction for improved stability and durability.

## Long description

Maped 196100 bow compass features an aluminium body with black and red accents, designed for drawing precise circles and arcs on paper. The compact metal construction provides increased stability and durability compared with plastic compasses, while the bow design enables fine adjustment of circle diameter. Intended for use in schoolwork, technical drawing and general drafting, this compass balances portability with reliable performance for everyday tasks that require accurate circular geometry.
Advantages
The aluminium body ensures a stable, rigid frame that reduces flex during use, helping to maintain consistent circle radii. The bow-style mechanism allows for precise incremental adjustments, and the metal needle and holder provide secure point anchoring on paper. Black and red accents improve visual contrast for easier handling and orientation, while the overall compact size makes the compass convenient to store in pencil cases or drawing kits.
Suitable for
School geometry exercises and classroom use
Technical drawing and drafting on paper
Art and design sketches requiring accurate circles
Measurements and simple layout tasks in workshops or studios
Key specifications
Body material: aluminium
Design: bow compass (fine adjustment mechanism)
Accents/finish: black and red details
Point type: metal needle anchoring point with compatible pencil/lead holder
Application surface: paper and similar drawing media
Portability: compact size suitable for pencil cases and drawing kits
How to use
Place the metal needle at the intended center point on the paper and adjust the bow mechanism to set the required radius. Insert a pencil or lead into the holder and ensure it is secured and aligned with the needle point. Hold the needle in position with consistent pressure while rotating the compass around the center to draw a clean circular line. For smaller adjustments, use the fine-tuning action of the bow mechanism to change the diameter incrementally.
Usage recommendations
Use on flat, stable surfaces and press the needle only as much as needed to prevent tearing the paper. Regularly check that the pencil lead is sharp and properly seated for crisp lines. Store the compass in a protective case or pencil box to avoid bending the needle and to keep the adjustment mechanism free of debris.
