Präzisionsinstrument, ist sein Geld wert. ;-)
Un peu cher mais pas decu de la qualité. Agréable à utiliser, stable lors des manipulations et très précis. Un modele un peu plus grand aurait été un plus pour certaines applications.
J’avais acheté un modèle un peu plus grand grand indien en laiton sur Amazon, mais il n’etait ni precis ni stable ni agréable à manipuler, les pointes etaient trop larges et la vis de serrage a cassé au bout de 2 semaines.
Je suis tres content du modele de Fohrmann!
Excellent product. Rapid delivery
This is a very good instrument and very precise. It replaces one that is stiff and laborious to adjust. The adjustment for the proportion could be a wee bit smoother. The divider function is good, not too stiff, not too loose. I agree that a Golden ratio marking would put this up to a ten out of ten.
Ich nutze ihn hin und wieder zum Zeichnen und habe lange überlegt ob ich das Geld dafür ausgeben will. Ich bin so froh endlich ein vernünftiges und sehr gutes Werkzeug zu besitzen. Den Preis empfinde ich inzwischen als angemessen und dafür habe ich es gerne ausgegeben. Ein sehr schönes Werkzeug!
I suggest this divider because it is a very precious tool for every crafts works , it is a high quality divider with a good precision!!!!
Perfectly crafted proportional dividers which is a must have for artistic drawings and their subsequent transfer to a larger format, on canvas for example. Simply first class German precision and quality at its best; built to last a lifetime.
Sehr hochwertiges Produkt und unerlässlich fürs Zeichnen und Einhalten von Proportionen. Heutzutage schwer neue Produktionen zu finden. Einziges Manko ist das Fehlen des Goldenen Schnittes.
I'm using this for an anatomy course and can't recommend it highly enough. Reasonable price and highly accurate. Shipping to the UK was super straightforward too.
hochwertiges Produkt, sehr genau, Bedienung sehr einfach, sehr stabil, für das Übertragen von Massstäben ein Muss.
If you still need to draft by hand then you will find this extremely useful. Excellent quality, weighty, matt steel with fine markings. Only negatives are a lack of root 2 and Golden Ratio marks. HAFF quality for a reasonable price.
Der Zirkel ist macht qualitativ einen sehr guten Eindruck und es lässt sich sehr genau mit ihm arbeiten.
