|    scribing dividers ?    |
|    21 Jul 25 13:48:27    |
      From: null@void.com              Hello again all              Is there such a thing as a "scribing divider" ?              Useful for when working on "black" steel?       Will cut-through / mark the mill-scale surface?              Maybe about 10inch/250m to 12inch/300mm "legs".              If I recall rightly I have seen dividers where each leg has a smallish       about 3mm very hard steel/carbide cylinder ground to a point. Which       can be demounted/unclamped and resharpened.              If so, what are these known as?       Not doing well looking in tool catalogues.              Else - is the answer something else like dividers with a point at one       end yes, but a chalk / soapstone at the swept end?              Regards,       Rich S              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
