Description:

Diamond Tip Glass Metal Scribe Pen is a handheld marking tool built with a diamond tip mounted in a pen-style metal body. The diamond point is used to scratch a fine, controlled line on hard materials such as glass and metal. In glassworking, a diamond scribe is used when you need accurate layout marks for cutting, scoring, trimming, or positioning components before coldworking. It is especially useful for marking cut lines on sheet glass for fusing, indicating where to grind or polish, and laying out precise reference marks on tubing, rod, or flat stock without using ink that can burn off or smear.

How it is used:

Clean and dry the surface so the tip contacts the material directly. Hold the pen like a pencil and draw the tip across the surface with steady, light pressure to create a visible scratch line. Use a straightedge for long cuts or measured layout lines. After marking, proceed with your cutting, grinding, or fabrication step, then remove the scratch line during finishing if you want a clean final surface. Store the pen with the tip protected to avoid chipping the diamond point.
