Key Features
Flat working surface for drawing, geometry, drafting and diagram work.
Used with rulers, T-squares, set squares, compasses, drawing sheets and graph paper.
Helps students keep lines clean and diagrams aligned.
The drawing sheet is fixed to the board with its edge aligned to the board edge, and construction lines are drawn lightly before the diagram is finalised. Students use the board in maths labs, science classrooms, technical drawing classes and art rooms for labelled scientific diagrams, graphs and project layouts. Compasses, cutters and drawing pins are used under supervision.
