heatride Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Can anybody tell me does this type of scriber work ok for deeper lines ? Thanks in advance .
Art Anderson Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Yes it does! BMF's scriber works like a "needle-pointed" chisel, in that its tip actually removes a chip of plastic as it's pulled across a styrene surface. However, it's tapered in shape, ever so slightly, and that means that the deeper the scribed line, the wider it will appear. I've used one of these for more than 20 years, and really like it. One note though: This scriber will likely need to be sharpened before its first use. (I keep mine sharp by "honing" it on 400-grit sandpaper that is glued down to a .250" X .250" piece of Evergreen strip styrene. But I never saw that as any drawback. Art
