Trammel Points Kit

it is what was expected

Very fine points, easy to use. Has option of using two points or one point and one lead for drawing. 2mm compass lead for refills. Would buy again, but very good craftsmanship, so I doubt I'll ever need to.

A beautiful well made tool set that works well. The design is well thought out with storage in the bodies for additional points and leads. It is an open design so most any piece of wood can be used. The brass work is well done but the finish on the wood components is nothing special. No regrets with this purchase.

Would have given 5. Leads are pretty much a waste. Be careful closing cap because you will break every lead before you even use it. Leads are not strong as the will break while using set.

While other trammel points may do the job, this one tipifies a woodworkers trammel. By that I mean nicely turned wood and brass points. As described, there are both pencil and steel points for each and they attach to various straight edges. I bought this trammel set to make curved dovetails as seen on a video demonstration. It was up to the task.

Unfortunately, the jaws don't quite open far enough to securely clamp on to an aluminum yard stick you get at the box stores, but I just use a piece of bar stock and it works fine.

These work fantastically. Added in a nice piece of beech for the spanner, and away I go. People have had issues with over tightening and breaking the leads, but if you pay attention, it won't happen.

They work great. Helped me in laying out the seat of a porch swing I am building. The only concern I have is where do I get replacement lead.
