Profile Attachment
Overview of the profile attachment
The profile attachment enables you to scribe more intricate shapes such as mouldings, brick and stonework.
The attachment will fit all the scribers in the tooley park scriber range (apart from the 2 in 1 FB Scriber).
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 8 inserts, a long and short version in delrin and hardened tool steel.
See the images on the shop page for insert sizes.

Scribing to brick work close up
A close up showing the profile attachment scribing to brickwork. It takes a bit of practice to get good results but the small size of the tool and being able to use 2 hands gives you a lot of control. Light even pressure is the way to go.
Note how the scriber is being used with just the front insert in for this task, and it has been ground down to more of a point.
On brick and stone it’s preferable not to use the back insert but for scribing mouldings the rear insert could give you more stability.
You might find you get on better with just the front insert in for all your profile work. Experiment and see what’s best for you.
You need to use a grinder to shape the steel inserts as they are hardened or you can buy them pre shaped.
