Combination square uses

What happens here

Demonstrate the use of the small scribe tool, often housed within the combination square head. The user removes the scribe from its storage slot and uses its sharp point to make precise, fine lines on a wooden board. This is particularly useful when a pencil line might be too thick or imprecise for detailed work.

Goal: Make precise, fine layout marks on a workpiece

Tools and materials

  • Wooden Board — The surface on which to make scribe marks

What they say

Hide

make sure that your blade's square. It also works well for setting the depth on your router. And once you're ready to install whatever you're building, most combo squares also have a level. And remember this little thing right here? This is a scriber. It works great for marking lines when a pencil just won't cut it. Not bad for just one tool. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
