Student-Friendly Compass Design
The blunt safety point makes the Alvin 708 particularly well suited to classroom use, providing the anchor needed to draw circles while offering a more student-friendly design than a traditional sharp-point drafting compass.
Because it uses a standard pencil-style drawing setup rather than specialized compass lead, it's also an approachable option for students learning basic geometry and drafting.
Built-In Measuring Arc
The hand-adjustable 6" measuring arc includes clearly marked 1/2" graduations, helping students set and reference circle sizes directly on the compass.
