Q: How do you lock the compass in place for a given angle? It seems to just swing loosely.
submitted by L - 4 years ago
A: Hello L - We're happy to answer that. If the compass is too lose, the screw on the top of the compass may be tightened. The compass does not have function to lock in place. Thanks for reaching out! - John

Q: Circle Diameter What is the maximum size circle one can make with this compass? Are those marking for the radius or diameter?
submitted by need2no - 5 years ago
A: Hi need2no – Thanks for viewing our office supplies! What a fun way to learn math. The compass will make a 6” circle. Diameter is measured from the center of the circle (from edge to edge), where the radius is from the center of the circle to one side of the circle. Thanks for dropping by. - Anita
