Description

What We Like About This Portable Drafting Table


Plenty of unique innovations make this drafting table more than just a surface without the accompanying legs. Unbreakable, foldaway feet let you work with a flat or angled surface, and the gripping feet underneath enable you to set the angle against a table edge without worrying about dropping your work. The straightedge is a marvel in itself. It can accommodate materials up to 3/16 of an inch thick, and has an inking edge for perfect marks. It slides along an underwire system that keeps it permanently parallel.

    I bought this drawing board for my home office to design for my blacksmithing business. I like its portability and its range of adjustment. Works great for drafting and construction design, as well. I would like a bit more info on the adjustment of the parallel rule, but overall I am very satisfied with the product and its reasonable price. [...]I look forward to dealing with you again.

    Its convenient for classroom use, stores easily. But the parallel bar has no ball bearings on the underside of it (like a standard Alvin parallel on a full table would have, so the bar constantly gets drafting adhesive dots stuck under it and they are difficult to get off. It's very annoying

          This product was a bit difficult to get level at first. I am still not sure it will stay level but it seems to be set up now. For the price I sure hope it does the job. That's all I need out of it. :)

                The instructions to adjust the parallel bar are well written, however getting the bar to adjust is difficult and for me, impossible. I am finding I am using a ruler to get my lines straight. But I purchased this equipment in order to not have to use a ruler. [...]

                  The Alvin portable drafting board has better quality construction than other boards I have seen. I was replacing a older board which was irreparably damaged and went back to the Alvin after looking a two other brands.
