Fowler 52-500-055-0 Scriber Replacement Point Carbide

Product Description

The FOWLER 52-500-055-0 is a carbide replacement point designed for use with scribers in layout and marking applications. Scribers are used by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals to score precise lines on metal, plastic, and other hard surfaces during layout work. The carbide tip material provides the hardness needed to mark tough workpiece materials without rapid wear. At 6.5 inches overall length, this replacement point fits standard scriber handles and restores a worn or broken tip without replacing the entire tool.

This replacement point is suited for metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and field layout work where scribers are part of everyday measurement and marking tasks. It is a direct consumable-style replacement for the tip of a compatible scriber, keeping the tool in service and reducing downtime. Machinists, pipefitters, sheetmetal workers, and general fabricators are the primary users of this type of replacement point.

Key Features

• Carbide tip material for extended wear life on hard surfaces
• 6.5 inches overall length (OAL) fits standard scriber handles
• Replacement-only design reduces cost versus replacing the full scriber
• Suitable for marking metal, plastic, and other hard layout materials

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement point for use with scribers. Consult your scriber handle specifications to confirm thread size and tip fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hand or with light tooling to thread or seat the replacement point into a compatible scriber handle. Ensure the handle is clean and free of debris before installing the new tip. Do not overtighten, as carbide tips can be brittle under excessive lateral or torque loads. No special trade licensing is required for tip replacement, though proper handling of sharp carbide points is advised.
