Caliper Scriber Gimex 201.155 — metal scriber for marking measurements on calipers

Gimex caliper scriber 201.155 is a metal marking insert designed to be used with calipers to scribe precise layout lines directly from measurement jaws. The compact metal tip fits into a caliper’s accessory slot and transfers measured positions onto wood, metal or plastic surfaces. It is intended for tasks where a repeatable, accurate reference line is needed and complements caliper-based measurement workflows in workshops and hobby settings.

Advantages

The solid metal tip provides a durable, wear-resistant marking point that maintains accuracy during repeated use. Its small form factor enables precise access to tight edges and confined areas along caliper jaws. The scriber offers consistent line placement by linking the marking point directly to the caliper’s measured position, reducing layout errors compared with freehand marking.

Suitable for

• Scribing layout lines on wood during joinery and cabinetry work
• Marking metal parts for cutting, drilling or machining
• Transferring measurements onto plastic components for fabrication
• Workshop, hobbyist and light professional measuring and layout tasks

Key specifications

• Material: metal tip suitable for scribing on wood, metal and plastic
• Form factor: compact insert sized for use with caliper accessory slots
• Durability: wear-resistant tip for repeat markings
• Compatibility: designed to be used as a caliper-mounted scriber for direct transfer of measured positions

How to use

Insert the scriber into the accessory slot or holder of a compatible caliper according to the caliper manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is secured and aligned with the measuring jaws. Close the caliper jaws to the target dimension and draw the scriber along the workpiece at the measured position to produce a clear layout line. For finer control, apply steady, light pressure and perform a single continuous stroke or several light passes to avoid excessive gouging on softer materials.

Usage recommendations

Keep the tip clean and inspect regularly for burrs or deformation; replace the scriber when the marking edge becomes blunt to maintain line accuracy. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when scribing metal or hard materials and store the tool in a dry place to avoid corrosion.
