Starrett Precision Shop Tools – Scribers

Scribers are typically used to identify features and locations on a workpiece. The tools are used to physically mark a relatively precise line, circle, arc, or angle by scratching the surface. In metalworking, scribers produce more accurate cut lines due to the fine, hardened point. The complete Starrett offering includes a variety of scriber styles along with replacement components.

70 Pocket Scribers (Carbide or Hardened Steel Points)

• The handle is made of steel, knurled, and nickel-plated. The scriber point is steel, properly hardened, and finely tapered so the location of the point is not obscured. The scriber is held firmly in the handle by a knurled chuck and when not in use can be reversed, telescoped into the handle, and locked by the chuck. The hexagon-shaped head prevents rolling.

67 Improved Scriber

• These scribers are steel, properly tempered, and well-finished. The points are finely tapered so that the scriber point can be easily seen on the work. The handle, as well as the points, have a knurled grip. The long bent point is useful for reaching through holes. The length of the scriber with the short point is 9in (225mm) and with the long bent point, 12in (300mm). Points screw into the handle and fit either end. The knurled handle is nickel-plated.

68 Adjustable Sleeve Scriber

• A very handy scriber with a point 8in (200mm) in length that is held by an adjustable knurled sleeve. The adjustable sleeve may be clamped close to or away from the working point. The sleeve is nickel-plated. Available with or without knife point.
