Review on 🧭 Rod Dasco's Enhanced Compass Beam: Unlocking Precision and Accuracy by Kevin Apriando

Great for drawing large circles and arcs on wood. The rod is a smooth, round, hard piece of plastic, 1/2 inch in diameter and just over 12 inches long. Seems too smooth. The adjustments slide too easily and you have to tighten the screws carefully to maintain a certain diameter. The two ends also rotate slightly around the rod, changing diameter. The rotation problem would be better if the stick was square or hexagonal, but then it would be more difficult to use alternating, longer sticks. I think I can replace the plank with a wooden dowel to reduce slippage. This also allows me to use a longer stick for larger circles. The supplied stick is suitable for a radius of up to approx. 12.5 inches, i.e. up to a circle with a diameter of 25 inches. The pencil holder fits a standard 1/4 inch wooden pencil. It is not suitable for larger carpenter's pencils.
