85B Starrett 9* Carpenters and Sheet Metalworkers with Improved Extension Divider Legs Only

85B
Starrett Carpenters and Sheet Metal Workers Divider
9"

The Starrett 85 extension dividers are exceptionally rigid although light
in weight and easy to handle. The head is made of forged steel. The
hardened points are well shaped and bent slightly so they can be rotated
and brought closer together if desired.
The sturdy construction of the joint, combined with the quadrant that
projects through the legs and is frictionally locked by a knurled clamp nut,
eliminates side deflection of the legs. A quadrant
adjusting nut permits fine-adjustments for close
measurements. A check nut located between the
legs firmly locks the legs after proper adjustment
has been made. This feature prevents the legs
from moving in and out with the grain on wood
when scribing, or sliding off rough spots when
scribing on metal.
A common pencil fits either arm. 88 Ball Points
may also be used with this divider.
