I bought a set yesterday and the arrived in less than 24 hours. Very nice. Those degree has marks on the circles could also be used to center a circle on the end of square stock - just make your diagonals to find center and line them up on those lines. Mine came with a small template that includes small circles, hexagons, triangles, arrows, rectangles, squares, and best of all a 6" rule on one edge. So there's lots of uses my imagination can come up with at the drafting table and on the work itself. On the downside, for the large circle template, the outside corners are marked as radii. 3/4", 7/8", 1", and 1 1/8", but they are all cut at 1". So I would recommend checking yours for accuracy. For me I'll use a section of the appropriate circle if I need to draw something from a radius. All in all pretty nice for only $7.
Yes, I have a set, or 1 template, a set of circles in my compendium of tools, they are as you say very useful, I see the millimetres are creeping in everywhere, even on your circle template, I kid you there.
Love mine: from high school drafting class in the late 60s. “Made in West Germany”!!
I needed to replace my green ones -splits in some of the circles - this is a no brainer. Thanks for the tip!!!
I avoid buying from Amazon whenever possible. If you want to avoid Amazon, you can find these on eBay for few bucks more, FYI.

I should mention that the link goes to the 3 template Tamaki set, not the 2 template Mr Pen for $6.

Typing on a phone is just asking for trouble. Sorry for the typos. Hopefully you can fill in the blanks

The Mr. Pen 2-template set you feature is still available and for only $6.
And their stuff always comes with a handwritten note!
Hey John! When are you going to restock your etsy store? Daddy needs a setup block for travel.....
You’re an addict, sir. Let me shoot you an email a little later this morning!
Everything must be 35°.
I know what you like, daddy.
