Are you looking for a tool that you can use to mark a guide line to a workpiece before you machine it? Then you should think about using a scriber. They are quite useful to be used instead of pencils or pens to scribe lines. That's because the lines will just be shallow scratches, which you can easily smear or rub off.

### What are scribers and what are they used for?

A scriber or engineers scribe tool is a type of hand tool used to mark or scriber various materials such as wood, steel, metal, and plastic prior to being machined. 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.Scribers can be manufactured from a wide range of materials including aluminum, chrome vanadium steel and feature a tip often made from tungsten carbide or diamond. Scribing tools are an excellent addition to any toolset that can be used in a wide range of applications. Their often slimline and pen-like design ensures that can be safely stored and carried in a toolbox or even pocket. It is worth to have a scribe tool along with you when you are into working with different materials. Then you will be able to use it whenever you want.Scribers are used by many tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts when carrying out tasks that require marking or measuring of materials prior to cutting and machining. Scribing tools are often used in applications such as:CarpentryEngineeringDIYWoodcarvingConstructionAs you can see, a scriber is one of the most useful and versatile tools available out there. Depending on the needs, you may think about purchasing the right engineers scriber or scriber carpenter.

### How to use a scriber?

You don't need to learn anything special to use a scriber. That's because it comes with a simple operation. Even if you have not used a scriber before, you can figure out the steps on how to get the job done within a matter of few minutes.Scriber tools work similarly to a pencil by creating a faint line via the tip when drawn across materials. This is one of the simplest hand tools to use. You just need to use it as you would be using a pencil to draw a line.

### The Engineer's and the carpenter's scribe

Engineer scribers often feature a much more solid design with a sharper point ideal for use with materials such as metal and steel, whereas a carpenter scriber is designed for marking softer materials such as wood prior to using carving tools.

### Why use a scriber?

Although many scribing tools have a pencil-like design, they offer a more superior and precise line when marking or scribing. The durable pointed tips allow you to produce a shallow scratch that won't be easily rubbed out, making them ideal for producing a faint line when measuring or marking materials with precision. If required, marking ink can also be used to make the line more visible. Scriber tools are also a much safer and accurate choice for marking, unlike a knife that can potentially damage the material or cause injury.Make sure that you understand more about different types of scribers available. Then you can make your life easy at the time of settling down with the best scriber available out there to use.
