Helix Ellipse Template

Isometric Ellipses for 3D Sketches and Technical Drawing

The Helix 0352590 Ellipse Template is printed 35 16′ Isometric Metric Ellipse Template with the code H82, and ACCO lists 26 ellipses on a template with a bevelled edge and ringbinder holes.

The printed isometric angle means these are the shapes a circle takes on the face of a cube drawn in isometric projection, which is why this template suits 3D sketches of cylinders, holes and wheels. Our photo shows the template in orange, with millimetre markings across its upper edge, and the ellipses are numbered from 2 to 50.

Using a template instead of plotting each ellipse by hand keeps every hole and wheel the same shape across a drawing, and saves time in class or on a draft. Line up the tick marks around the chosen opening with your construction lines, then trace inside it.
