The profile attachment enables you to transfer more intricate shapes such as mouldings, brick and stonework.
The attachment will fit all the scribers in the tooley park scriber family but is particularly suited to the up and over and big boy scribers where you have the option to hold the pencil under the pivot point. The closer to a right angle you can get between the pencil and the piece you are marking the better.
You can buy a scriber and profile attachment at the same time (click on the option for a base with pre drilled holes on the scriber you would like to use) or if you have a scriber already just buy the attachment and drill the holes for the attachment yourself. There is a diagram showing the hole pattern in the profile base attachment product images on the shop page.
The kit consists of a brass plate which bolts to the base of the scribers with 2 slots to accommodate different sized inserts.
There are 4 sets of inserts in the kit.
All the inserts are 1mm thick at the point.
There is a long and short version in delrin for situations where you don’t want to mark the profile you are copying.
A long and short version in hardened and tempered tool steel for abrasive surfaces, stone and brick for example.
See the images on the shop page for insert sizes.
Also included in the kit are 8 grub screws, a hex wrench to fit the grub screws and bolts to fit the brass plate to the scriber.
