STAEDTLER552 01 Mars Comfort Quick-Setting Compass with Push-Button, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter)

Q: Would this be usable in a machine shop setting for doing things such as scribing metal?

no, get an old starrett or general with the wing. they are solid steel construction. these drafting ones have plastic joints and adjustments.. not suitable for metal work.

Q: Is this compass "spring loaded"?

no. as far as i can tell there are no springs involved with this tool. the arms are adjustable with quick release levers for broad and quick adjustment as well as a small wheel for more fine and precise measurements. the arms are very sturdy and firm in both locked and unlocked positions. this is the best compass i could find, i love it, worth every penny. i probably will never need to buy another compass unless i start working very large or very small. having a tool arm that accepts any stylus (marker, pen, brush etc.) is what wins it for me, and also the sturdy and stylish construction. good luck.

Q: Does this poke a hole into the paper? The ends look very sharp like a needle.

Yes, it will create a tiny hole in the paper. When that's a problem I use a little square of thin plastic there in the center; that is, I put this one-inch-square guard down, which already has a detent in it, I draw my circle and remove, and keep, the protector.
