Scriber
Introduction
A scriber is used to mark lines on metal surfaces. It is made of hardened steel with a finely ground point.
How to use it
Place at an angle to the straight edge and apply pressure as you move it along the straight edge.
Where to use it
Use when you need to mark out onto metal.
Maintenance
When blunt, sharpen by careful grinding. Take great care as over heating the scriber by grinding will soften the steel and then it will always be blunt.
OHS issues
A dangerously sharp tool so take great care not to cut or stab yourself or others. Safety glasses should be used when scribing as the point can snap off.
