SALEMAR Inch Scale A3 Drafting Table Drawing Board Graphic Architectural Sketch Tool Set

I've been looking for one of these for a couple of years that used the inch system instead of millimeters. This one does that and contrary to what some reviewers have said I don't find it to be flimsy. It is not as sturdy as a wood drafting desk but it will not fall apart on it's own either. Looks good.

I use it on the flat 8x10 canvases for my epilepsy awareness paintings getting straight line at any angle for the image and the lettering.

The 5 stars I gave are based entirely on value for the money. The quality deserves a 1 or 2 stars. The board is very flemsey and the T-square does not slide or lock evenly. The adjustable 45 degree triangle is far from accurate. If you are looking for a board to do serious/accurate drawings, my suggestion is to buy a better quality board and buy the triangle tools etc. separately. WHY the 5 stars? As I said, Value for the money. You can't beat the price. As they say, "You get what you pay for".

The T-square has a lock on each end but mine is missing the foot on the right-side dog so it doesn’t lock that end into place. It’s flimsy to start with but this makes it much worse. Still it’s better than nothing.

Yes, you can draw parallel straight lines and the kit is small enough to store easily in the box that it comes with. Larger format drawings may require a larger board for designing… so check the size of your project. A great starter kit…I got an A in the class!

Don’t bother, ruler doesn’t slide and surprisingly low quality

It’s too bad that this mechanical drawing set was not satisfactory. It had a couple more pieces than the more expensive set, but the main ruler didn’t stay put, so I couldn’t really trust it to draw a straight line. Other reviewers said the same thing. I had to pay twice as much to get the set that satisfied my needs, but it was well worth it.

Wonderful !! All you need for smallish Project working drawings.
