Scriber Gimex 150 mm with Carbide Tip, Model 214.035.N

The Gimex Scriber 150 mm with carbide tip (model 214.035.N) is a handheld marking tool designed for precise scribing and layout work on metal and other hard surfaces. Its compact 150 mm length provides control and accessibility in tight spaces, while the carbide tip ensures durable, sharp lines that maintain accuracy across repeated use. The tool is intended for workshop and industrial environments where consistent, fine marking is needed for cutting, drilling, welding preparation, or dimensional layout.

Advantages

The carbide tip offers superior wear resistance compared with steel points, delivering long-lasting sharpness and consistent line quality. The compact form factor and balanced weight allow steady hand control for accurate edge and surface marking. The simple, robust construction minimizes maintenance and is suited to frequent use in industrial or professional workshop settings.

Suitable for

• Marking and scribing metal sheets and plates
• Layout lines for cutting, drilling and machining
• Welding joint preparation and alignment
• Precision marking on hard materials such as castings and hardened parts

Key specifications

• Overall length: 150 mm
• Tip material: carbide for enhanced wear resistance
• Tool type: handheld scribing instrument for manual marking
• Intended use: metalworking and industrial layout tasks

How to use

Hold the Gimex scriber with a comfortable grip, positioning the carbide tip against the workpiece at the desired starting point. Apply steady, even pressure and draw the scriber along the surface to produce a visible, fine line. For edge scribing, rest the tool against a straightedge or guide to maintain a uniform distance and direction. Replace the tip if it becomes excessively worn or damaged to preserve marking quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, when scribing metal. Store the scriber in a protective holder or pouch to protect the carbide tip from chipping. For the sharpest lines on hardened surfaces, use light, controlled passes rather than heavy pressure.
