Pickett - General Purpose Drafting Templates
Professional drafting templates with built-in risers prevent smudging
Raised edges lift these templates above your drawing surface, creating clearance that prevents wet ink from wicking underneath and smudging your work. Pickett machines each template from durable plastic in a smoke gray finish that reduces eye strain during extended drafting sessions, no glare bouncing back as you trace. The matte surface provides clear visibility of layout lines beneath while maintaining distinct template edges.
General purpose cutouts cover the shapes most frequently needed in technical drawing: circles in graduated sizes, squares, hexagons, triangles, and standard geometric forms. Each opening features smooth, precisely cut edges that guide technical pens and pencils with consistent accuracy. The template material resists warping and maintains dimensional stability across temperature changes, ensuring your traced shapes match specifications drawing after drawing.
Whether you're developing mechanical layouts, creating architectural details, or producing technical illustrations, these templates deliver the fundamental shapes that form the foundation of precise drafting work. The smoke gray color also makes pencil guidelines easier to see compared to transparent templates, improving accuracy when positioning elements. Pickett's manufacturing standards ensure clean edges that won't catch pen nibs or create irregular lines.
