Surface Suitability
Suitable for marking most surfaces. Some metals and polished or glazed finishes may not take a clear pencil mark, so test a small area first.
Marking Out for Cutting and Fitting
A carpenter’s pencil is a useful part of a measuring and marking kit for joinery, installation and general DIY. Keep one at the bench and another with your site tools so a suitable marking pencil is available when checking dimensions or setting out the next cut.
Making Clear Pencil Marks
Sharpen the lead to suit the width of mark you need. For accurate cutting, make a consistent line and decide which side is the waste before starting. Surface texture and finish affect the result, so check that the mark is visible and removable where appearance matters. These are marking pencils, not a substitute for checking measurements with a suitable rule or tape.
