Product Information

Mostly used by professional tradespeople or DIY enthusiasts, scribers can be used in a wide range of industries, from woodwork and carpentry, to machining and engineering, even domestic DIY. This means scribers are not always the best tool for marking out an area of the workpiece that will be visible in the finished part.

They are hardy for their size and are usually made from metals like aluminium and steel alloy with a tip made from tungsten carbide or another hard material like diamond. Carpenters’ scribes will often mark the workpiece with a pencil line instead of a metal pointed tip.Ink can also be added to enhance the marking line and they are much safer to use than bulkier tools like knives.

This also means it’s very important when using a scriber to make sure your measurements are correct before you scribe the workpiece. Engineer’s scribers look similar to pens, whereas a carpenter’s scribe can take many different forms. They are most commonly used to mark out metal work pieces due to their advantages over other marking methods on this type of material.
