yep that it is but it is also good at marking patterns on wood for burnings as well. I have my grandma and both my husband's and & mothers tracing wheels. They are also great for kids playing with play-do as well. Over the years we have found lots of good uses for them. I have the rough ones as well as a smooth edge ones. Next time you are doing any art project think about the ways it will come in handy. Oh I almost forgot. If you make your own greeting cards, the smooth edge ones are great for marking the folds so you get a nice smooth fold. Have fun with you new found tool!
