54487
These general purpose scribing tools are suited to a wide range of industrial and laboratory use. Each of these high-quality hand-held tools is equipped with a conical ground and polished quality industrial diamond that is vacuum bonded to a 1.57mm (0.062") diameter steel tip shaft. Scribes create fine lines in a wide range of materials, from metals to silicon to plastics to glass. A scored line in glass can be broken easily with the help of Wafer Cleaving / Glass Breaking Pliers.
The unique high-precision tips of these scribers allow greater accessibility to smaller work areas and make it possible to continuously view what is being scribed. They are ideal for applications that require very low tolerances.

Diamond Wheel Cutter, Standard
54368
General purpose diamond wheel cutter. Good for hard glass 0.3-3mm. This cutter is best for harder materials such as hard glass, LCD, sapphire, quartz glass and ceramic. Wheel cutters produce a cleaner scribe line than point scribes and minimize the number of particles generated. Plastic handle is 5" long.
Diamond Wheel Cutter, Laser
54369
In this diamond wheel cutter, Laser refers to the profile applied to the wheel. This allows for a non-slip start and deeper scoring. This cutter excels at cutting thin glass (as fine as 0.03mm), LCD, half-tempered glass, sapphire, quartz glass, ceramic, glass tubes and standard silicon substrates. Wheel cutters produce a cleaner scribe line than point scribes and minimize the number of particles generated. Plastic handle is 5" long.

Carbide Wheel Cutter, Standard
54365
General purpose tungsten carbide cutter for glass, silicon, and other crystalline materials. Suitable for glass 0.3-1.5mm and hard glass 0.3-6mm. Wheel cutters produce a cleaner scribe line than pointed scribe, minimizing the number of particles produced. Plastic handle is 5" long.
Carbide Wheel Cutter, Deep Cutting
54353
Wider angle tungsten carbide cutter for glass, silicon, and other crystalline materials. Suitable for glass 3-10mm thick and cutting silicon off axis. Wheel cutters produce a cleaner scribe line than pointed scribe, minimizing the number of particles produced. Plastic handle is 5" long.
Carbide Wheel Cutter, Laser
54366
In this carbide wheel cutter, Laser refers to the profile applied to the wheel. This allows for a non-slip start and deeper scoring. Good for glass 0.1-2mm and hard glass 0.3-2mm. This cutter excels at cutting thin glass, hard glass, quartz, silicon and III-V semiconductors. Wheel cutters produce a cleaner scribe line than point scribes and minimize the number of particles generated. Plastic handle is 5" long.
Carbide Wheel Cutter, Laser, Ultra-thin
54352
Laser refers to the profile applied to the wheel. This allows for a non-slip start and deeper scoring. For this cutter, a sharper tip angle allows for a narrower scribe line. Good for very thin glass 0.03mm up to 2mm and hard glass 0.3-2mm. This cutter excels at cutting ultra-thin glass, as well as hard glass, quartz, silicon and III-V semiconductors. Wheel cutters produce a cleaner scribe line than point scribes and minimize the number of particles generated. Plastic handle is 5" long.
Precision Diamond Marker Scriber Set
54410
handle with eight replaceable, threaded tips and a hardwood storage case
These professional scribing tools, formerly from the Minitool™ line of precision tools, are used in the electronics industry for scribing or marking of delicate components or any other scribing tasks calling for precision work. All scribing tools have hardness-oriented, quality, industrial diamonds for outstanding performance. A 60° included angle is standard. Diamond configuration: all diamond bases are 0.25mm (0.01") diameter with a final tip radius of 5µm. Depth of diamond (tip to base) is 0.15mm (0.006"). Thread is 8-32.
Tools are available in straight or bent tip configuration with a variety of shaft diameters and tip lengths but the actual diamonds are consistent in size.
Wood box contains one each of all the tips offered (see below for details).
