Product Information

Beta 1688A-Hardened Steel Engineer Scriber 200mm

Engineer’s scriber made from hardened steel

Features
  • The Beta 1688A Hardened Steel Engineer's Scriber (200mm) is a professional hand-held layout and marking tool used in metalworking, machining, and precision engineering to scratch ultra-fine, permanent reference lines onto hard material surfaces.
  • Because traditional pencils or ink markers easily rub off, smudge, or lack the hair-thin precision needed for mechanical tolerancing, engineers and machinists use this tool to engrave crisp layout paths before cutting, drilling, or machining.
Specifications
  • Model Designation: Beta 1688A
  • Total Length (L): 200 mm (approx. 8 inches), matching the standard size of a structural marking pen.
  • Body Diameter (Ø): 4 mm profile for high control in tight, enclosed gaps.
  • Tool Weight: Extremely lightweight at 25 grams.
Applications
  • Metalworking Layouts: Etching exact dimension paths directly onto raw sheet steel, aluminum blocks, copper plate, or brass strips before executing torch cuts, bandsaw cuts, or milling paths.
  • Drill Hole Centering: Scoring crosshairs to create a visual target point for a center punch before heavy drilling begins.
  • Template and Die Making: Tracing patterns from a master layout piece onto duplicate metal components.
  • Alternative Materials Marking: Etching lines onto smooth, hard synthetics, industrial acrylics, plexiglass, and high-density plastics.
Comes With
  • Tungsten Carbide Tip: While the body channel is built from chrome-plated hardened steel, the cutting needle features an ultra-hard tungsten carbide tip. This allows the tip to bite into stubborn iron alloys and tool steels without wearing down or dulling.
  • Ergonomic Handle: Built with a high-visibility, signature Beta-orange nylon handle that offers a comfortable pen-like grip, giving you total stability during highly accurate freehand markings.
  • Pocket Carrying Clip: Features an integrated pen-clip, making it easy to store in a workshop breast pocket or utility pouch so it is instantly accessible on the bench
