do u actualy have a use for it i had one and gave it away . never found the need
Make a clamp and use a bit of HSS tool steel ground up will do, what size is it as I might have a bit.
ive got tons of stuff like that, ill never use them they just sit there taking up space forcing me out of the doorThe honest answer is I don't know, but it's another "thing" to add to the many other "things" that ive got
If you have a nice flat surface table and a flat vertical plane at 90° to the surface table then they are brilliant for short length quick accurate marking.
If you try to use it on your welding table against a brick wall they are useless.
as well as a granite jobbie
Good thing you are not Scottish as that sounds painful.
Ha ha that is for sure and obviously not just a Scottish word thenGauranteed not to float

Sounds like your kitted out to use it to its potential.Even though I don't have an everyday use for this ive got a reasonable surface table (Infact ive got the metal one I posted about a while back as well as a granite jobbie) and also have small right angle "thing". If I can get a clamp and scriber then I'll have the ability for such marking, weather I need this ability or not is a whole different matter.
I'm struggling with a clamp and scriber as the sizes are all imperial. Internet tells me I need a clamp with an opening 3/16 wide and 3/8 high

I think they are great in there own area
Marking up central line meeting points for drilling a set of holes. Way more accurate than a steel rule and a tungsten.
(Your hole itself mind will only be as good as your centre dot lol).
You've raised a realy good point there! On such a line what's the correct way to ensure the centre dot is correctly positioned to be on the line correctly? Does the point need to be sharpened? I ask as ive often struggled with this
