Scriber needle - small but nice
The project
A small and fine scriber was produced on the SIEG C2 lathe.
Tool / material used
- aluminium
- bronze
- Old 3 mm drill bit
- Lathe SIEG C2
- Polishing machine
Making a scriber
The tip of the scriber is made from an old, sharpened 3 mm metal drill bit. The shaft of the scriber was made from an 8 mm aluminium tube and a piece of bronze round material. This was first turned to a diameter of 8 mm on the lathe. The ends of the bronze parts were turned slightly larger than the inner diameter of the aluminium tube. The tip was then press-fitted into the shaft. The shaft was treated on the lathe with fine emery cloth and then on a polishing machine to achieve a beautiful and even surface. Using a buffing disc and green polishing paste, the scriber was given an even better high gloss.
