## Questions & Answers

**Q: how big of a cicle can this make**
A: At it's widest opening it measures about 12.5" from tip to tip of the metal compass. If you use a fairly new pencil in the pencil holder and extend the pencil all the way out you can make at least a 30" diameter circle, maybe as much as 33" diameter.

**Q: does this fit a micron pen?**
A: An old-school #2 pencil will fit this compass.  If a micron pen is larger in diameter than a #2 pencil, then "no, it does not fit".

**Q: Just to ask if it can  be wash or cleaned  in thewasher disinfector (machine wash) and sterilize at 134 to 137 degrees. pls. let me know thank you**
A: This will rust, in fact it arrives coated with a light oil to prevent rust.  Also, the adjusting screw needs lubrication which the washing cycle would remove.

**Q: my wife wants a 4" and 6" and a 8" circle would this work on plastic to?**
A: This compass  measures 14 inches tall and opens to a maximum of 12.25 inches. It is adjustable from having the points all the way closed to any measurement in between that and the maximum. If you have a scribe that can be fastened into where the pencil goes you could etch a circle or curve into plastic as well. That would also give you a larger maximum measurement. Hope that helps you out!
