This mini spring divider caliper precisely scribes circles and transfers measurements on metal for detailed jewellery and craft work.

What it does

Engage the bow spring and knurled adjustment nut to set your desired leg width. The tool's hardened steel points create clear, accurate marks on your workpiece. Its consistent spring tension holds measurements reliably, allowing you to step off repeating distances or scribe perfect arcs without drift. The finely threaded rod ensures precise adjustments for intricate layout tasks.

How to use it

  • Adjust legs for desired measurement using the fine-thread knurled nut.
  • Pivot one leg point on your workpiece to scribe.
  • Store carefully to protect the sharp points.

Who it's for

Ideal for bench jewellers, silversmiths, watchmakers, and dedicated hobbyists. This tool replaces inconsistent freehand marking, offering precision for laying out bezels, settings, or decorative patterns. It's a dependable companion for intricate work where accuracy is paramount.

Lucy N. ★★★★★

Took me a minute to get the hang of the bow spring mechanism, but once I did, scribing perfect circles on my silver sheet became effortless. The round legs glide smoothly without scratching the metal.

Kevin R. ★★★★★

The knurled adjustment nut on this little caliper gives a really fine control for scribing circles—my layout lines on silver are much more accurate now. It feels solid in the hand, too, not flimsy like some dividers I've used.

Daniel W. ★★★★★

The knurled adjustment nut is smooth and precise, so I can set the exact gap without any slip while scribing circles on silver. It’s compact and the round legs reach into tight spots easily. Honestly, this little tool has made my layout work far less fiddly.
