What are Engineers squares, Scriber, Tin snips, Centre punch & folding bars used for?
Squares are for giving a right angle,you put your square on the metal and use the scriber,a hardened point tool to scratch a mark onto the metal then use the tin snips to cut along the marked line.If the metal needs to be folded into a 90 degree section you use the folding bars to make sure the right angle runs straight along the section and folds right,and if you need to drill the metal you use a centre punch to make a small indentation into the surface to locate accurately the point where you want the hole to be,and it stops the drill point from wandering all over the job.All tools of a tinsmith or sheet metal worker.
