Irwin 2033500 Soapstone Marking Stone Metal Marking

Product Description

The IRWIN 2033500 is a soapstone marking stone designed for temporary marking on metal surfaces. Soapstone produces a visible, heat-resistant line that holds up in welding, fabrication, and cutting applications where ink or pencil marks would burn off or disappear. Each stone measures 5 inches by 1/2 inches by 3/16 inches and weighs 0.04 pounds, making it easy to handle and store. Plumbers, pipefitters, welders, and HVAC techs use soapstone to scribe cut lines, bend points, and layout marks directly on pipe, sheet metal, ductwork, and structural steel before cutting or welding.

This marking stone is suited for use in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service environments where metal surfaces need to be marked before cutting, bending, or welding. The temporary nature of soapstone marks allows lines to be wiped away or burned off cleanly, leaving no permanent residue on the finished workpiece. It is a standard consumable tool for tradespeople working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical fabrication.

Key Features

• Soapstone composition produces heat-resistant marks that withstand welding and cutting temperatures
• Temporary marks wipe away cleanly without permanent residue on metal surfaces
• Compact size at 5 inches x 1/2 inches x 3/16 inches fits standard soapstone holders
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds for easy handling in the field
• Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal marking in fabrication and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal surfaces including pipe, sheet metal, structural steel, and ductwork; compatible with standard soapstone marker holders used in welding and fabrication trades.

Installation Notes

Soapstone markers are a hand tool consumable and require no installation. Store in a dry location to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause the stone to crumble. When used near cutting or welding operations, ensure appropriate PPE is worn per job site safety requirements. Replace when the stone becomes too short to hold safely or no longer produces a clean, visible line.
