By: Curt Dilger
The Adjustable Triangle is a versatile and precise drafting tool that provides the features of a 45°/90° adjustable triangle as well as those of a protractor. With the ability to draw angles from 0° to 90° from the baseline with ½° accuracy, this tool is perfect for a wide range of drafting applications. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a hobbyist, the Adjustable Triangle is an indispensable tool for creating accurate and precise illustrations.
One of the key features of the Adjustable Triangle is its die-engraved graduations, which provide high visibility and accuracy. The graduations are easy to read and ensure that your angles are precise and accurate, making it easy to create professional-grade illustrations.
Another important feature of the Adjustable Triangle is its aluminum thumbscrew, which securely holds the selected angle and allows for quick pick up and manipulation. This feature makes it easy to adjust the angle and move the triangle into the desired position, ensuring that your lines are straight and accurate.
The Adjustable Triangle is made of high-impact acrylic that is 0.100 inches thick and optically clear, which eliminates parallax and allows for close pencil tolerance. This feature ensures that your drawings are precise and accurate, with no distortion or interference from the tool itself.
In addition, the Adjustable Triangle is a professional's choice for drafting tools and drawing supplies. Alvin has been a trusted brand in the drafting industry for over half a century, and the Adjustable Triangle is a testament to the company's commitment to quality and value.
To use the Adjustable Triangle, start by selecting the desired angle using the graduations on the tool. The die-engraved graduations ensure that your angle is precise and accurate, so you can create professional-grade illustrations with ease.
Next, use the aluminum thumbscrew to secure the selected angle, making sure that the triangle is in the desired position. The thumbscrew ensures that the angle is secure and allows for quick pick up and manipulation, so you can easily adjust the angle as needed.
Once the angle is secured, place the Adjustable Triangle on your drawing surface, making sure that the baseline is aligned with the desired angle. Then, use a pencil to draw your line, making sure to keep the triangle steady and in place while drawing. The high-impact acrylic material ensures that your drawing is precise and accurate, with no distortion or interference from the tool itself.
When you're finished drawing your line, simply remove the Adjustable Triangle from the drawing surface and adjust the angle as needed for your next line. The die-engraved graduations and aluminum thumbscrew make it easy to select and secure the desired angle, so you can create professional-grade illustrations with ease and precision.
In conclusion, the Adjustable Triangle is a versatile and precise drafting tool that provides the features of a 45°/90° adjustable triangle as well as those of a protractor. With its die-engraved graduations, aluminum thumbscrew, high-impact acrylic material, and professional-grade quality, the Adjustable Triangle is the perfect tool for creating accurate and precise illustrations. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a hobbyist, the Adjustable Triangle is an indispensable tool for all your drafting needs.
