Scribing Block & Rule Holder
Scribing Block & Rule Holder
Ref: HK 1830
Even in the age of the digital height gauge, a Scribing Block and Rule Holder are indispensable for marking-out. A new 6" (150mm) steel rule is accurate to ±0.004" (±0.1mm) from any graduation to its zero-end (BS 4372:1968) and typically the first 2-3 inches are graduated down to 1/64ths (0.5mm). These two items allow you to hold a rule vertically and 'click' a scriber perfectly into a graduation. Hey presto; you've marked out 27/32nds without a second thought!
George Thomas' classic Scribing Block incorporates what must be the ultimate mechanism for this application; ensuring that the scriber arm can be smoothly set without fear of any subsequent movement.
The kit arrives with our latest drawings and build notes, together with all necessary material to produce both items and 4 spare scriber points. You'll need a tap for 5/32"x 40tpi (SP 1026) and a trusted 6" ruler.
