A scriber is a hand tool used in metalworking, woodworking, and other crafts to mark lines on workpieces before cutting or shaping. It typically features a sharp, hardened steel point designed to scratch the surface of materials like metal, wood, plastic, or ceramics. The scribed lines act as guides for precision cutting, drilling, or machining.
- Material: Made of hardened steel ensuring the tip remains sharp and durable for scratching hard surfaces.
- Tip: A sharp point dual-ended tool.
- Handle: a simple rod-like shape ergonomic handle for better grip and control.
- Marking: It is used to mark out lines on hard materials like metal, wood, or plastic before machining or cutting.
- Layout Work: Assists in laying out the dimensions on a workpiece, ensuring precise cuts and measurements.
- Measuring Tools: Often used in conjunction with squares, rulers, or calipers to transfer or mark exact measurements.
- Metalworking: Commonly used to mark out cutting or drilling points on metals.
- Woodworking: Used for precise layout lines, especially on harder woods where pencil lines might not be visible.
- Precision Machining: Aids in marking specific points and lines before milling, drilling, or turning operations.
A sriber is a fundemental requirement for precision marking, ensuring accuracy in machining and fabrikation projects.
