Flange Wizard FLW72805 Radius Marker Medium For drawing cirlces up to 50"

The Flange Wizard FLW72805 is a radius marker in the Medium size, for drawing circles up to 50 inches.

At 50 inch capacity this is the middle of the radius marker range, and the step up from the 22 inch small marker roughly doubles it. That is the size for genuinely large plate work: tank and vessel heads, large access openings, big flange patterns, and curved structural components where the small marker simply cannot reach.

The reason to use a radius marker rather than measure offsets is accuracy, and the case gets stronger as the circle gets bigger. Marking a 50 inch circle by measuring points from a centre and connecting them produces a polygon with a rough edge — and every measurement is an opportunity for a small error that shows up as a flat spot or a bump around the perimeter. A radius marker scribes a continuous arc from a fixed centre, so the circle is a circle.

Steel plate is the reason a purpose-built tool exists at all: a workshop compass needs a point pressed into the material, and punching a centre into finished plate is either damage or extra work.

Choose by the job rather than by maximum reach — a 50 inch marker is unwieldy on a 6 inch circle.

Applications include plate layout, tank and vessel work, large hole and circle marking, and heavy fabrication.

Users include fabricators, layout personnel, and burners.
