The set includes three 4\" × 4\" square clear acrylic plates, each 3 mm thick, marked with division lines radiating from a center point in the proportions of a 360-degree circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plate is organized by divisibility, making it easy to select the right template for your design geometry. David's preferred technique is to transfer a pattern onto tape using pencil carbon, then place the tape over your metal to transfer the layout — a clean, repeatable method suited to production work and one-of-a-kind studio pieces alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 3 clear acrylic division plates for precise angular and radial layout work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach plate measures 4\" × 4\" and is 3 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlates are organized by divisibility for quick template selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate 1 (Divisible by 3): divisions for 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 segments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate 2 (Divisible by 4): divisions for 4, 8, 16, and 32 segments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate 3 (Divisible by 5): divisions for 5, 10, and 20 segments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear acrylic construction allows direct visual alignment over your work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and created by master jeweler and educator David Baird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlate Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" × 4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlate Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of Plates\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaltham, MA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate 1 – Divisible by 3 (3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 divisions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate 2 – Divisible by 4 (4, 8, 16, 32 divisions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate 3 – Divisible by 5 (5, 10, 20 divisions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Designer:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Baird has been making jewelry for nearly four decades.
