Scriber
It is a tool used to mark or scribe a guide
line onto a workpiece prior to it being machined. The name scriber came from the word scribe, which itself came from the Latin word scriba, which was a person who would write, engrave or inscribe documents.
Drawbacks
of using a scriber
Drawbacks of scribers over other marking tools are
that the lines made by scribers cannot easily be removed, without grinding or
polishing. That is why scribers are not always the best tool for marking out an
area of the work piece that will also be visible in the finished part.
You also need to take care when using scribers means measurements you have taken should also be correct before you scribe the work piece.
