Product Information

Full details

The Jakar A2 Draftline Drawing Board (8416) is designed for artists, students, and professionals seeking enhanced accuracy in their technical and creative drawings. Its primary benefit is the smooth parallel motion system, ensuring precise lines, complemented by an integrated ruler, protractor, and magnetic clamp for paper security and accurate measurements. A potential consideration is its plastic construction, which, while lightweight, may require careful handling during transport or extensive use compared to heavier materials. This A2 board offers a portable yet stable platform for architectural plans, design sketches, and educational tasks.

FAQs

What size paper can this drawing board accommodate?

The board is A2 size, designed to comfortably hold and support A2 paper (420 x 594 mm or 16.5 x 23.4 inches).

How does the parallel motion system work?

The parallel motion system consists of arms and rulers that move in unison, ensuring that as the ruler moves up or down the board, it remains perfectly parallel to the top edge of the board, allowing for precise horizontal and vertical line drawing.

Is this drawing board suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the parallel motion system can be used by both right-handed and left-handed individuals. The ruler can be positioned on either side of the track.

Can I attach my own drafting accessories?

While the board has integrated features, you can use standard drafting accessories like a drafting brush or additional clips alongside the magnetic clamp.

How should I clean the drawing surface?

Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the plastic material.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Parallel motion system is stiff or jerky.

Gently clean the tracks of the parallel motion system with a dry, soft cloth or brush to remove any dust or debris. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the movement.

Paper slips despite using the magnetic clamp.

Ensure the magnetic clamp is firmly positioned and making good contact with the paper. If the paper is very thin or smooth, consider using additional drafting tape or clips for extra security.

Ruler markings are unclear.

Clean the ruler edge with a damp cloth. If markings are worn, consider using a separate, more durable ruler for critical measurements.
