Helix Angle and Circle Maker with Integrated Circle Templates, 360 Degree, 6 Inch / 15cm, Assorted Colors (36002)

Good product, but the do smaller circles have to oil the track that turns. It's still a good tool for circles but could use improvement, but to do that would cost a lot more than price it's at.

The Helix Angle and Circle Maker is a simple but clever tool to use to draw circles. For years, I've relied on tracing various objects or subjecting my journals to the pointed end of a protractor in order to achieve the perfect circle. This handy little circle maker consists of a ring with a movable center plastic piece. To use, you simply place your pencil or pen in one of the little holes in the plastic piece then draw where the plastic piece guides you. You can also use the precut circles to trace smaller circles. The center guide moves fairly smoothly, but does require a firm hand so that the circles come out neatly. I would not recommend using this device with very thin tipped pens. I used a Micron 03 pen with this circle maker, but I wouldn't go any thinner than that.While this circle maker did work with my Leuchttum 1917 Bullet Journal, I will warn you that it does take a steady hand to use since there is a book gutter to deal with. While these journals do lay quite flat, I did have some issues with getting it to lay flat enough so that the inner circle would work smoothly. On completely flat surfaces, the circle maker had no issues. Overall, this is a useful tool if you're looking to add circles to some of your artwork.

works good but the inner ring has difficulty moving and using a fountain pen is not ideal

recently purchased the Helix Angle and Circle Maker, and it has been a fantastic tool for my projects! It’s incredibly versatile, allowing me to draw perfect circles and precise angles with ease. The compact design makes it easy to carry around, and the clear markings ensure accuracy every time. Whether I’m working on geometry tasks or creative drawing projects, this tool has been a game-changer. It’s sturdy, well-made, and very user-friendly. I highly recommend it for students, teachers, or anyone needing precise measurements!

I really like the versatility of applications this template can be used for, from drawing Mandalas to making circles to turn into Christmas ornaments made of craft paper. It's a tool to feed the imagination. It is also well made and sturdy, an fits in the pocket of a purse or the one on the side of my colored pancil case, or my little crafting toolbox.

Needed this for drawing and it helps a lot!

It seemed like it would be a great product for making circles for mandalas quickly and easily instead of using my adjustable compass. Unfortunately the piece that holds the inner circle and allows it to spin is broken and trying to draw a circle was virtually impossible. I will be looking for an exchange or a refund. I don't know if this is a common issue and it's not expensive, but still unusable.Update: replaced with a second one which is just as big a piece of garbage… The circle does not move freely. It has ruined several of my drawings already as I’ve tried to move the circle around and have gotten stuck halfway or less several times. Useless

This Helix Angle and Circle Maker is a surprisingly handy tool! I was initially skeptical, but it's incredibly easy to use and the integrated circle templates are a real time-saver. Whether you're into drafting, art, or just enjoy precise measurements, this tool is a must-have. It's compact and the colors are fun too.
