Carpenters’ scribes will often mark the workpiece with a pencil line instead of a metal pointed tip. Other advantages of scribers over other marking tools are the lines they make are far thinner so they are more accurate and marking ink can be used with scribed lines to make them more visible. Scribing tools are simple and easy to use and are often used with various other hand tools including saws, chisels, hammers and more when carrying out various tasks such as carving or measuring.

The disadvantages of scribers over other marking tools are that the lines they make can’t easily be removed, without grinding or polishing. The line marked with a scriber is much more precise than if marked with a pen or graphite pencil and as a result they allow for better overall results in the accuracy of hole placement, cutting etc. 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.

Its knurled body gives a positive finger grip and the sharp ground points are heat treated to give a long life. They can also be used with various hand tools and are used to mark out the areas to be measured or cut etc. Scribers can be manufactured from a wide range of materials including aluminium, chrome vanadium steel and feature a tip often made from tungsten carbide or diamond. Although many scribing tools have a pencil-like design, they offer a more superior and precise line when marking or scribing.
