Description:

The Large Pi Dividers are precision measurement tools constructed from aluminum with stainless steel hardware, designed specifically for lampworkers and glassblowers who work with standard-sized tubing. This tool functions as a mechanical calculator that enables artists to quickly determine the correct circumference of glass needed for wrapping around a piece of tubing. The divider operates on the mathematical principle of pi, with one end measuring the diameter of the tubing and the other end measuring the corresponding circumference. By laying out glass cane and measuring it against the tool's curved end, artists can ensure that their cane wraps perfectly around the tubing without gaps or overlaps. The aluminum construction provides durability and resistance to heat, while the stainless steel hardware ensures longevity through repeated use in the studio environment.

How it is used:

• Measure the diameter of your glass tubing using the straight arms of the divider
• Reference the curved end to determine the exact length of cane needed to wrap around the tubing
• Lay out your glass cane and compare it to the measurement indicated by the tool
• Use for creating seamless roll-ups and wrapped designs without gaps or overlaps
• Essential for consistent, professional results when working with cane wraps on beads, vessels, and other lampworked pieces
