Marking Tools

A Center Punch is a hand tool used to make a small indentation on a workpiece to mark the center point for drilling. This indentation guides the drill bit and prevents it from slipping or wandering. It is commonly used in fitting and metalworking for accurate drilling operations.

A Chalk Line Reel is a marking tool used to create long, straight lines on surfaces such as wood, walls, and floors. It consists of a string coated with chalk powder, which is stretched and snapped against the surface to leave a clear straight line. This tool is widely used in carpentry, construction, and layout work.

A Scriber is a hand marking tool used to draw fine lines on metal surfaces for layout work. It has a sharp pointed tip that scratches the surface, creating clear and precise markings. Scribers are widely used in fitting, machining, and metalworking operations.

A Prick Punch is a hand marking tool used to make small, fine indentations on metal surfaces for accurate layout work. It has a sharp pointed tip with a smaller angle (usually around 30°) compared to a center punch, allowing precise marking of layout lines and reference points. This tool is commonly used in fitting and metalworking.

A Divider is a hand marking tool used for measuring distances, transferring measurements, and scribing arcs or circles on a workpiece. It consists of two pointed legs joined at a pivot, allowing adjustment to the required distance. Dividers are widely used in fitting, layout, and workshop marking operations.

A Dot Punch is a hand tool used for marking small indentations on metal surfaces, typically to locate layout points or guide further machining operations. It has a sharper point compared to a center punch, allowing finer and more precise marking. This tool is widely used in fitting and metalworking for layout work.

A Wood Marking Knife is a precision hand tool used in carpentry for marking fine lines on wood surfaces. It has a sharp pointed blade that cuts into the wood slightly, creating accurate and visible marking lines. This tool is preferred over pencils for high-precision joinery work.

A Mortise Gauge is a marking tool used in carpentry to mark two parallel lines simultaneously for mortise and tenon joints. It is similar to a marking gauge but has two adjustable pins, allowing accurate marking of the width of mortises

A Marking Gauge is a hand tool used in carpentry to mark lines parallel to the edge of a workpiece. It helps in accurate layout work, especially for cutting joints and shaping wood. The tool uses a sharp pin or cutter to scribe precise lines.

A Surface Gauge is a marking tool used to scribe lines on a workpiece parallel to a reference surface. It is commonly used on a surface plate for layout work in fitting and machining. It helps in accurate marking and alignment of components.
