Lee Valley Veritas Beam Compass

Limited stock. Shop now while quantities last.

Ordinary compasses just don’t cut it in the shop; a beam compass (or trammel) is much more practical.

Using a single beam section, the Veritas beam compass deals with circles from 1 1/2″ to 24″ in diameter. Additional sections take you up to 80″ (203cm) for circular tables, rockers, arches, etc.

It has carbide-tipped points that readily scribe metal as well as wood, although the pencil head is usually used for scribing wood. A micro-adjust feature quickly gives accurate settings.

All of this comes in a fitted wooden case that even includes a small brass center pivot disc for use where it is important not to mar work. The beams are steel and the fittings are all solid brass.

Made in Canada.
