Scribing tool for various flanges

[anders nørgaard]

This is a scribing tool that I've learned to use by a plumber in Denmark.

It's just a scrap piece of stainless steel. Instead of using a compass scriber, you can have several of these small plates with different sizes of "flange widths". Just find the right size for your flange and scribe with the tip while you press the tool against the edge of your panel. :idea:

Remember to mark it like in the pic. Then you wo't have to measure, just read 8)

Thanks for the tip Anders, this will come in handy :D

Glad you found Emile, Ben and Art --- as John B said, it won't be long you'll be having a Regional MetalMeet :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Art, I've been enjoying your posts on your model A, I just sold mine last August at the Street Rod Nats in Louisville Ky.

Anders, This type of scribe is very usefull in layout work. The easiest way to make them is to make 3 of them, one in 1/16th, one in 1/8th and one in 1/4 increments and mark sizes on both sides so you know which one you have. Of course Emile the spy tells me to measure in millameters.With the name of Dutch and can`t use mietric numbers well doesn`t leave much to say about me, Dutch

Jerry,

Glad, you could use it :D :D

Yeh, maybe we'll have to have a regional meet.

Dutch,

No problem for me to convert into inches. Was trained in a Ford workshop where we used inch measurements as well as millimetres.

I had a Mustang 302 Boss that I restored in 1979 8)

It's not so hard thouh.

1" is 25.4 mm. And as a little "thumb rule" we say; 0.004" equals 0.1 mm :!: :D :D :D

And from 0 - 6 in. I can just use my verniers caliper. It reads inches and metric :D 8)

Anders,

You folks need to catch up with the rest of the world and switch to inches!

Paul,

Actually, we used inches years ago, but switched into metric. I think it was in the early sixties :!: :?:

The is another little problem.... a danish inch is 26.8 mm (1.055 US in) Think that would make it even more confusing :!:

Anders ,


i've made a view from stainless
long sharp .but not long enough,
and in mm we need allot of them
thats the reason i use the compass

but the idea is great for softer metals

Art, I posted the pictures of my '31 A in my Blast From The Past Album in the Gallery

If you notice the top is considerably flater than the original. I liked the look of it, just another way of filling the roof and chopping it :D
