Hi all

I am searching for a little 24x36 drafting table top...

not attached to a table and perhaps with a rule-slide on it.


anybody know a good website?



i searched Pearl Paint for it but found nothing. froogle is not turning up anything either.

The common trade name for those things is Mayline. Hang around a design/architecture school at the end of a semester and you can get one for super-cheap.

i am looking for stuff like this:

I think that one was $117 on the mayline website, but I seem to remember selling mine for ~$40 when I got out of the architecture racket.

Hope you find it. Good luck!

Here are some good cheap kits. But they have t-squares and not permanent parallels like I think you are asking for.

What about this?


24" x 36" is US$60.50

I have a degree in Drafting. I don't do it anymore as a job, but I do a lot of manual drafting in my woodworking shop do design projects.

thanks guys, the ones at my local art store are so much nicer though. they cost up to 180 but they are sturdy and well made. i think the maker was "spectro - " something

any ideas?

are you looking for portability in particular? because I've owned several of these all from mayline and two of them broke(sliding ruler) within a year. if it were up to me I'd invest in a table and a long t-square or drafting arm. ebay always has good second hand stuff.
