   I've made a few parts to scribe lines and center punches.  I made a   
   point of it after my son gave me an optical center punch set for   
   Christmas one year.  I even have a couple height gages with carbide   
   scribes for helping with layout, although one usually only gets used to   
   measure tool heights to be entered into a CNC machine's tool table.  Its   
   pretty scary when I bring that carbide scribe down on top of a 0.026"   
   ball nose end mill to measure the height.

   I learned to creep up on damageable things while wiggling paper between the   
   part and the height gauge or endmill. When the paper drags I have a few   
   thousandths of safe clearance left.
