Compass Maped Cyrkiel Study Stop 203226 — school drawing compass with safety stop

Maped Cyrkiel Study Stop is a school drawing compass designed for classroom and home use. The compass provides controlled radius adjustment and a fixed point for drawing stable circles, with a safety stop mechanism that prevents accidental overextension. Its straightforward construction and reliable performance make it suitable for geometry lessons, technical sketches and craft projects where consistent circle sizes and predictable handling are required.

Advantages

The safety stop limits the maximum opening to protect the compass and the user's work from sudden slips, while the fixed point ensures steady contact with the drawing surface for even, accurate circles. The adjustment system allows precise radius setting and keeps the chosen measurement during use. Materials and assembly are selected to balance durability with light weight, making the compass easy for students to handle over extended periods.

Suitable for

• School geometry exercises and classroom drawing tasks
• Technical drawings and simple drafting for study
• Art and craft projects requiring regular circular shapes
• Home study and homework assignments involving measurements

Key specifications

• Design: two-legged drawing compass with safety stop mechanism
• Point type: fixed metal point for stable anchoring
• Adjustment: screw or sliding adjustment for controlled radius selection
• Usability: suitable for standard paper and card stock
• Build: lightweight construction intended for student use

How to use

Place the fixed point on the paper at the desired center and open the compass to the required radius using the adjustment mechanism. Engage the safety stop to set the maximum opening if needed, then rotate the compass steadily around the fixed point to draw a circle. For repeated circles at the same size, confirm the adjustment has not shifted before each use. When not in use, keep the compass closed or stored in a protective case to preserve the point and hinge alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use on a stable, flat surface to maintain accuracy and avoid pressing too hard on the pivot point. Check the adjustment mechanism regularly for firm setting and keep the metal point capped or protected during storage to prevent damage or injury.
