Bridge City CS-3 Center Scribe

This item is not available for this region.

These items are discontinued. Available while quantities last. Online Only.

The latest redesign of Bridge City’s original Center Scribe marks center on either the faces or ends of various types of workpieces up to 7 7/8" wide, including square and round stock, boards and even tapered forms.

Largely made of aluminum and precisely machined to strict accuracy specifications, it has two movable jaws linked with a stainless-steel pulley system, which ensures that the two jaws travel synchronously, always maintaining equal distances from the tool’s central axis.

It comes with a stainless-steel scribe point that functions like the point of a marking gauge to score a well-defined line down the center of a workpiece. Alternatively, you can retract the scribe point and insert a pencil in the locking holder to mark a point or line.

A knurled locking knob can be used to disengage the pulley system, which lets you adjust either jaw independently to use the tool much like a regular marking or mortise gauge to scribe a line at a consistent offset from a single edge of the workpiece.

A superbly engineered tool.
