Woodworking Compass Scriber — precise, durable, travel-ready tool for accurate marks, circles, arcs and parallel lines Key benefits Accurate measurements without guesswork: Brass adjustment screws let you set the scale precisely and the ruler/scale locks in place by sliding it to the desired position. Achieve repeatable results every time. Faster, cleaner workflow: Knurled thumbscrews provide quick, tool-free clamping so you can set and hold measurements rapidly — ideal for repetitive scribing and layout tasks. Durable, reliable performance: Solid aluminum-alloy construction with a rust-resistant main body stands up to shop use while keeping the tool lightweight and easy to handle. Portable and practical: Compact design and lightweight positioning blocks make it easy to carry for on-site work and field layout tasks. What it does Scribe perfect circles, smooth arcs and accurate angles. Mark precise, parallel lines consistently for joinery, edge banding and template transfer. Lock and re-use exact settings to maintain uniformity across multiple parts. Key features Brass scale adjustment screws for fine, stable calibration. Knurled screws for quick clamping and effortless repositioning. Slide-to-lock ruler/scale interface for secure, repeatable measurements. Aluminum-alloy body with rust-resistant main components for long service life. Compact size and light positioning blocks designed for portability. Typical use scenarios Cabinetmaking and furniture: Lay out parallel lines, mark arcs for drawer fronts or scribe consistent joinery lines across multiple panels. On-site carpentry and installations: Carry in a tool pouch for quick, accurate markings during field fitting of trim, counters or fixtures. Template and pattern work: Transfer circles and arcs to substrates for routing or cutting, and lock settings to replicate the same mark across parts. Materials and handling Main body: aluminum alloy for strength and low weight. Adjustment hardware: brass screws and knurled fasteners for precise, durable adjustment. Designed to accept and lock a ruler/scale by sliding it into the set position. Why choose this tool Solves common layout problems—uncertain marks, slow setup, and loss of parallelism—by providing a robust, easy-to-adjust scribing solution that stays set during use. Combines precision, durability and portability so you can maintain accuracy whether in the workshop or on site.
