Usage:
The drafting machine has all advantages and uses of T square,set square, scale. 
First drafting machine is arranged at one corner of the drawing board and tight screw at that corner and then arrange the drawing paper .

You are noticed another scale with that scale at 90° is for draw perpendicular line at 90° with required angle
Advantages :
If we want to draw line at 30 degree ,60 degree or 90 degree (upper side) compered to required angle drawen by use of set square putting on main scale
