STAEDTLER Mars 661 A3 Drawing Board, White

I bought this item along with his drafting head and the soft case and I can say that my 12 years old son is absolutely fascinated about it. Right out of the box he could make his first basic technical drawing like he saw on his youtube tutorials. WOW!!!!! From what I saw while he using it, the locking mechanism is a little bit stiff out of the box, but after few locks it is normal. The red / green semaphore is intuitive and just fun to watch. 100% the parallelism is repeatable, even without locking, I saw this and is amazing, I did not expect from a plastic item to be so precise. You can use this board with A3 and A4 paper. With A4 you must pay attention with the sliding ruler when you return from outside of the paper. Otherwise the long clip is just perfect. I will buy also some A3 paper, but A4 is also good. The plastic is top quality, every engraving is sharp. The color scheme is beautiful and easy to see: deep blue, dark gray and milky white. I bought for him other Staedtler products in time, including the Mars 555 compass and I can say it's a formula 1 on geometry. He is using it like a pro also. At 53 Euro I don't regret a cent when it comes to my son and I think for school or for hobby in general this is a good, top quality item. In my opinion and I am outside of the problem, it is not my field, maybe Staedtler could invent some additional legs to tilt the board a little, otherwise I saw that on a normal horizontal table the position of my kid is a little bit uncomfortable or he is a little bit to small for it - I don't know :)) Anyway in conclusion, if he is happy, I am happy and this item deserves 5 stars!

Wie von Staedtler erwartet höchste Qualität. Kein verrutschen und saubere Linien, anders als so manche Platten die ich schon ausprobieren durfte.

La qualité Staedler… je l’avais quand j’ai fait mes études, il y a fort lointain, je trouvais le produit déjà très qualitatif. Rien n’a changé! Trop classe de retrouver cette table à dessin! Merci pour l’envoi rapide!

This review is for the "STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm)", for which I paid £76.34. I love this! It works perfectly, and stores away nicely when not in use. Excellent quality with smooth operation and accuracy. I bought the STAEDTLER LR 661 13 storage bag. The box the board came in fits in the bag and the board in the box. So it is portable and protected. I also bought the add-on STAEDTLER 660 20 Mars Drafting Head which also works well when needed, but I mostly just use a triangle instead.
