## Questions & Answers

**Q: Seriously?? I've bought these for less than 2 bucks at the local hardware store.**
A: Difference is this one has a thumb screw that locks it in place at desired size. most store bought don't lock and rely on friction to hold in place which will work on paper but not when scribing an uneven surface.

**Q: Whats the maximum diameter this can achieve?**
A: 5 in. Radius.10 in. Diameter maximum. 2 to 3 in. Radius best working.
