Q: What are these used for?
Trammel points like these mount on a rule or beam to strike arcs and circles, and they also work as square gauges for repetitive angle marking once the points are removed.
05N5005 - Veritas Trammel Points, pair
Usable on any rule up to 1/4" thick, these narrow-bodied trammels can be set to reproduce radii as little as 9/16". The removable points score clear lines on any wood, and are also effective on aluminum, brass, bronze and mild steel. With the points removed, the trammel bodies double as square gauges, clamping onto a square to make repetitive angle marking easy. Inspired by an antique trammel set found at a woodworking show, our version is made of stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, and has knurled sections to make the tips easier to remove. Each is about 1/2" in diameter and 2 1/2" long overall.
A pencil tip, available separately, can replace either of the stainless-steel points. Additional leads, in packages of 10, are also available.

Trammel points like these mount on a rule or beam to strike arcs and circles, and they also work as square gauges for repetitive angle marking once the points are removed.
They're built to reproduce radii as small as 9/16", tighter than most trammel setups can manage.
Wood, aluminum, brass, bronze and mild steel all take a clean scribe line from the removable stainless-steel points.
Yes, removing the points turns the pair into square gauges for laying out repeated angles.
Yes, a pencil tip attachment adapts these trammels for marking work where a scribed line isn't wanted.
