FAQs

What are the dimensions of the template?

The Jakar Combo Circles Template measures 183mm in width and 208mm in height.

What is the smallest and largest circle size available?

The template features 50 circle sizes ranging from a minimum of 2mm to a maximum of 39mm in diameter.

What material is the template made from?

It is constructed from green impact-modified acrylic.

What is the purpose of the 'pencil allowance'?

The 0.4445mm pencil allowance is designed to accommodate the lead or ink of a pencil or pen, ensuring that the traced circle is precisely the intended diameter without becoming too thick or smudged.

Can I use this template with markers?

While primarily designed for pencils and technical pens, you may be able to use fine-tip markers. However, marker ink can bleed, and care should be taken to avoid smudging or damaging the template.

Is the template flexible?

The template is made of acrylic and has a rigid structure, designed for stable tracing. It is not intended to be flexible.

How do I clean the template if I get ink or graphite on it?

For best results, gently wipe the template with a soft, damp cloth. If necessary, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Circles appear smudged or uneven.

Ensure you are using the correct pencil allowance (0.4445mm) and a sharp pencil or pen. Clean the template with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before use. Apply even, light pressure when tracing.

Template markings are difficult to read.

Clean the template surface with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure adequate lighting on your workspace. For improved visibility, consider tracing with a contrasting colored pencil or pen.

Template slides during use.

Place a sheet of non-slip matting or drafting tape under the template to secure it. Alternatively, use drafting dots or gently tape down the edges of the template.
