A scriber is a hand tool used in metalworking to mark lines on workpieces, prior to machining. The process of using a scriber is called scribing and is just part of the process of marking out. It is used instead of pencils or ink lines, because the marks are hard to see, easily erased, and inaccurate due to their wide mark; scribe lines are thin and semi-permanent. On non-coated workpieces marking blue is commonly used to increase the contrast of the mark lines.
They are a rod with a tip made of cast steel that has been hardened and tempered. The point is sharpened to an angle of 30 or 40 degrees. Some scribers have a point at both ends. It is used by drawing the point over the surface of the workpiece to leave a shallow scratch on its surface.
A scriber block is used to layout lines at a set height from the base, thus its second name surface height gauge or just "surface gauge".
The work piece is held against an angle plate so that it is perpendicular to the surface plate, the scriber block is then adjusted to the required height and used to scribe a line parallel with the table, by sliding the block along the table's surface.
[Verse One]
You introduced by the nigga that let loose
The lyrical Tec 9, it's check time
for niggaz that don't respect mine
listen to the raps that we spit
all the clips get empty, never temp me
they call me barrel a/k/a the Grizly
[Chorus until end]
Pump this shit in yo' trunks
