TRAMMELS

The document discusses trammels which are tools used for scribing large arcs and transferring measurements. Trammels have adjustable grips to quickly set distances and a fine adjuster for accuracy. An example is given of using a trammel to scribe an arc on sheet metal with a center punch to prevent slipping. A diagram also shows using a trammel to measure the distance between two points on an engine component.

Trammels are available in a range of sizes and allow for the scribing of large arcs, beyond the capacity of
spring dividers. They are also ideal of transferring measurements. The knurled grips can be loosened and
tightened, allowing them to slide along the round section bar. This means that a distance can be set quickly
and the fine adjuster used for a more accurate measurement.
 

 
 
 
Using a trammel to scribe an arc on the surface of sheet metal, is shown below. A centre punch ‘indentation’,
is at the centre of the arc, ensuring that the trammel does not slip on the surface, during scribing.
 
 
 
 
This diagram shows a trammel being used, to determine the distance between two points of an engine
component. Once the distance has been set on the trammel, it can be transferred to a ruler, so that the mm
measurement can be read accurately.
