Scribers 

In lay out work, it is necessary to scribe lines to indicate the dimension of the workpieces to be filled or machined. The scriber is a tool used for this purpose. It is made of high carbon steel which is hardened. For drawing clear and sharp lines,, a fine point is ground at one end. Scribers are available in different shapes and sizes. The most commonly used is the plain scriber. When scribing lines, the scriber is used like a pencil so that the lines drawn are close to the straight edge. The point of the scriber should be ground and honed frequently for maintaining its sharpness.scriber points are very sharp, and they are to be handled very carefully. Do not put the scriber in your pocket. Place a cork on the point when not in  use to prevent accidents.
