Drafting board

Although the modern computer technology nowadays makes it easier to do technical drawings, many people still like to draw or do sketches on the board. We present you a drafting board with adjustable height and top board angle, so you can use it while sitting as well as in the standing position. If you are making technical drawings try to purchase sliding rulers that engineers use on industrial drafting boards, you will install them very easy, and they will make you technical drawings more precise and faster. It is also useful to put the Screw Hooks on the board Legs and attach the chain to it. This will secure the stability of the Legs, and if the Tighten Nut is not tight enough the Legs will not slide. If you are planning to use the board mostly in the standing position, we recommend you to fix one Leg to the ground or to put some weight on it, so it will get proper stability and balance.
