Beam trammel for scribing circles and arcs

Date 10-10-2007 19:20

Hello everyone, here's a trammel set-up that I made a while back. I use it for any number of things and the sizes of arcs or circles are only limited by the length of flat bar that you have on hand. It also has replaceable carbide tipped, threaded inserts for points. Would love to see any other types that are being used out there. Best regards, Allan

I like that set up, I ,made a set that used 1/2"X1/2" square stock as a beam, and had a soapstone holder. Needles to say I let some one borrow them and they are no more(sad).

Lesson learned that day - "Never Lend Out Your Tools" One of two things will happen it will come back broken or not at all.
