The adjustable design works for 1/4” to 12-1/2” (6.4 to 318 mm) depths in 1/8” (3.2 mm) graduations. The stop at the end of the scriber sleeve glides along the edge of work as a sheet metal screw point scribes a clean, hard line. It’s as simple as setting your desired trim depth on the scriber extension and tightening the knob. Look no further for a pocket-sized tool that can measure, mark, and scribe trim lines on sheet metal in one easy operation. The blades are built with high-carbon, alloy tool steel to resist rust while tapering to a fine point that may be resharpened repeatedly. This tool is available in seven models with various blade diameters, lengths, and regular or large shock- and shatter-resistant handles for versatility. Pierce holes in wood, plastic, leather, and even light-gauge metal with ease. Malco Scratch Awls are perfect for scribing lines on metal, plastic, and a variety of other materials. Here’s a classic hand tool with reliable performance. Fast forward to the present day, Malco is pleased to offer various metal scribe tools that are adjustable, portable, and quick to use for any straight or circular marking application. It’s a trusted tool that has withstood the test of time, with generations of trade pros using it on the job. Fun fact: One of the first products that our Founder Mark Keymer released back in the 1950s was the scratch awl. S letter.jpg (178.Ready, set, scribe! Marking metal is easier than ever with Malco tools. Have to love Mach/Sheetcam/Candcnc for allowing upgrades like this. I winged the whole thing, and with the Dotco marker, ended up costing about $325.00 US. Looks better in person, but it's still a start. I have a little fine tuning, but it works pretty well. It was a post I already had running my Plasma (MP3000 DTHC II + Scriber) I did set one of the settings to false, to allow for only one check of the torch at first, and no movement until before the very last one. All the posts seem to trigger that # instead of the #3 like I thought. Les Newell wrote:Does it matter that it references the torch? Apart from the short time taken to reference it should not make any difference to the scribing or any later plasma cuts.įound out it does not really matter. So the plasma z reference is not needed at all with my setup. I have valves to slow the stroke speed, but they are fully open and it work just fine. It could care less on air pressure on the slide for the most part. Just adjust the stroke adjustment ,and set a stop for travel. If I am doing thicker then 2 inch, then I will have a issue, but there are easy work a rounds for me. I have a Dotco scribe, and it seems like the perfect tool for my marking needs. I can add weight or a adjustable spring if I need more dig. Seem to work perfect with only the weight of the air scribe. The scribe floats on it's own rail after the slide extends. So only offset is just the X and Y for the torch placement. after that, then the torch-to-scribe offset is used to locate the scribe. In order to operate the scribe at the correct height, my controller needs to touch-off the torch to find the correct height depending on the material thickness. I don't know how you can work this without moving the Z axis at all.Īll settings for my scribe's location are relative to the torch's location. PK wrote:I have my scribe mounted beside my torch.
