Review on Helix Combo Circle Template 37163 by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Making circles is not enough - marking the pattern and cutting it out is fraught with problems.

I was tempted to give 2 stars because it draws circles but the bar seems to be set too low. exactly the centers of the circles. I even went so far as to erase all existing markings with xylene and began determining the correct bisectors myself. I've since given up on that and am now looking for a really accurate pattern. To compound this problem, many of the circles were poorly cut, leaving some of them with burrs that led to the formation of pits/bulges on the drawn circles. For smaller circles this can be more of a problem. I set about creating a sandpaper cylinder to smooth out the inside. The stencil material itself is fine, and the stencil sits on raised dimples, keeping it off the paper to reduce smearing. Whether for quick processing or for the children's school work. , I suppose, would suffice, but for all tasks requiring precision it's basically useless. *sigh* How hard is it to mark a template accurately? I think harder than can be achieved for $6.
