Is anyone familiar with or tried Mission Models Micro Chisel Panel Set for scribing panel lines?

Thanks

I don’t own one, but the chisel tips are designed for removing plastic seams & such in hard to reach areas. I think they would be useless for use as a scribing tool.

Hi Rick,
The Panel Scribing set is not the same as Micro Chisel Tip or Tips. Take a look at the following and you’ll see they’re two different critters.

I’ve used the MC for a while. It’s extremely handy. Definitely get one!

I just received the Micro Chisel and started thinking maybe I should add the panel scriber set.

Was hoping someone that has had experience with the panel scriber set would give us a first hand report. [:)]

I’ve used them and they work pretty good. 3 different tips give you 3 even widths for scribing which is quick and easy. The more passes you make, the deeper the line. To be honest I don’t need to scribe a whole lot but when I do its definitely a tool I break out. I think its great for flat surfaces and straight lines, but for round surfaces I like to use my JLC Micro saw. I love that saw!!

That’s great to hear. I purchased the JLC Micro Saw from Gerald at Hawkeye’s Hobbies not to long ago and I obviously have more in that tool than I realized. [:)] Cool! I haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I’m looking forward to learning how to use it and it’s merits. I’m just getting back to this grand hobby, boy how things have changed, and have been building up my war chest of supplies, tools for my first project. Gerald has been a great help in pointing me in the right direction,

I have just about decided against the MM panel scribing set, at least for now.

Thanks Ernest for your input.

Patrick, if you bought the saw from Hawkeye Hobbies then you’ve probably already read this post on alternate ways to use the saw blades…

If not, then even MORE ways to love this little saw!

Happy building!

Ernest - I had not seen that thread before. Grand information. [:)] Thank you.

I have the panel scribing set which I use occasionally.

Am I the only who has an issue with the little locking nut? It’s so tiny that the smallest amount of overtightening will start to strip the nut and render the hex tool unuseable. I wish they could’ve made it larger or used a thumbscrew instead…

I’m sorry to hear that. I just recently received the MM Micro Chisel and have not taken it out of the package yet. I’ll sure becareful of the set screw. Thanks for pointing the issue out. Kind of a spendy tool to have that problem.

I couldn’t agree more.The best for rescibing the panel lines around the top and bottom of a fuselage or the leading edge of a wing after getting rid of a seam.
