Dividers 85mm

Dividers are one of those tools that quietly make everything more accurate. If you've been eyeballing measurements or scratching freehand lines and hoping for the best, a good pair of dividers will change how you work.

These 85mm dividers have a quick-adjust setting nut that lets you lock in a measurement and hold it consistently, which is exactly what you need when you're scribing lines, finding centres, or stepping off equal divisions along a length of metal. The points are sharp enough to leave a clean, fine line on metal without slipping.

If you don't have a disc cutter, these are brilliant for marking out circles to saw. Set the dividers to your radius, place one point at the centre of your sheet, and scribe a clean circle ready to cut. It's a simple technique that gives you a reliable, repeatable result every time.

We also use these regularly in the studio for marking cut lines on wax ring tubes, where precision really matters and a slipped mark can mean a wasted piece of wax.

Worth knowing:

• Quick-adjust setting nut for fast, secure sizing
• 85mm leg length, a practical size for most jewellery work
• Useful for marking circles, finding centres, stepping off measurements, and scribing parallel lines
• Great for both metal and wax work
• Also included in the Deluxe Jewellers Saw Kit, the Premium Jewellery Tool Starter Kit, and the Ultimate Lost Wax Jewellery Tool Kit.

A small tool with a big impact on accuracy. Once you start using dividers regularly, you'll wonder how you managed without them.
