Wing Divider for Leather Marking

This wing divider is designed for marking parallel lines, transferring measurements and laying out work with repeatability and consistency. It is one of those workshop tools that quietly ends up being used on almost every project.

The divider features a screw adjustment mechanism allowing controlled opening adjustment while helping maintain the set spacing during use.

Constructed from steel with a slim profile and pointed legs, it is suitable for leather marking, pattern work and general workshop layout tasks.

Usage in Leathercraft

Wing dividers are among the most commonly used layout tools in leathercraft.

Typical uses include:

• Marking stitch lines parallel to edges
• Scribing crease and decorative guide lines
• Transferring measurements between parts
• Setting strap spacing
• Marking hole positions and symmetry points
• Pattern layout and proportion checking

For hand stitching, the divider is frequently used to establish a consistent stitch line offset from the leather edge before pricking or punching.

About the Design

This divider uses a screw-adjusted wing mechanism, allowing fine spacing adjustment while helping prevent unwanted movement during use.

The pointed legs allow controlled scribing on leather surfaces while remaining useful for general workshop measurement transfer.

The slim profile also improves visibility during marking operations.

Specifications

Packaging & Preservation

To minimise corrosion during storage and transit, the divider is supplied inside a plastic protective packet and lightly coated with protective oil.

Oil residue, smell and light surface film should be considered normal and are intended to help prevent rust formation during storage and shipping.

This is a working workshop tool. Minor machining marks, surface marks, oil residue and cosmetic variations may be present and should be considered normal. These do not affect functionality.

Care & Storage

Store in a dry, low-humidity environment. Keep points protected and apply light oil periodically to minimise corrosion and maintain smooth adjustment.
