Milescraft 8407 ScribeTec - Scribing and Compass Tool

Handy little scribe. It sure came in handy when remodeling my mom's home. Easy to use. I love how it scribes when fitting uneven surfaces. Trim along the scribe line and your piece fits like a glove.

Make scribing lines easy and accurate.

It is nice scribe and does what it needs to do and gives you many different angels to scribe but the cheap plastic and threads make it hard to keep it at the desired height sometimes.

I haven’t had a chance to use these yet, but they seem to be really well-made and will be handy when it comes time to use them. I haven’t used this type of protractor before, but it looks like they have some interesting features to make it a little bit more versatile than though standard type.

Now that I have it, I realize how much I always needed one. I have used it to scribe lines for trimming shelves and as a compass for drawing circles for cabinet holes! The surprise feature is being able to use a carpenters pencil to scribe those long lines on rough lumber! I really like this handy tool!

It's better than the old school-supply compass I was using but it tends to loosen up and the radius changes. The only thing really tight is the pencil holder and that makes it really hard to adjust.

This scribe has both a fine pint follower and a more broad based one. The articulating pencil holder almost has too many adjustments. There is a little learning curve if you have been using a regular compass for scribing in the past.

This product works great! I gave it a four star rating due to the material. This would be better if it was made of more durable material. I don’t expect this to last long, especially in the pencil holder where it splits.
