Product Information

A scriber is a pointed tool used for marking lines on metals. Scribers are made from high carbon steel and the points are hardened and tempered. While carrying out various engineering processes like cutting, measuring, drilling, etc., marking out accurate guidance lines through scribing over the job becomes very important so that the desired operations are implemented flawlessly. Various specifically designed precision marking tools are employed for the above purpose. It has five different size blades – 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm. The blades are made of high-quality tungsten steel which is ideal for working on styrene and resin models. An accurately machined flat surface usually made from Cast Iron for stability (larger versions may be called a Surface Table). Work may be placed on here and heights measured from the surface for example.

Scribers can be manufactured from a wide range of materials including aluminum, chrome, and vanadium steel. They feature a tip often made from tungsten carbide or diamond. The blades score easily, slicing through any finish, laminated surface, or cross-grain. In this way the scriber works like a cutting gauge, eliminating chipping or tear-out when making the subsequent cut.
