What happens here

To scribe a parallel line with a desired offset, hold the HandyScribe pencil firmly against the edge of the material you wish to mark. While maintaining contact with the material, rotate the pencil. The unique cam shape and offset core of the pencil are designed to draw a consistent parallel line. This action allows you to precisely mark a line anywhere from approximately 1/8 inch to 7/16 inch from the edge. By continuously rotating the pencil, you can fine-tune the offset to achieve any measurement in between these ranges, providing significant flexibility for various DIY applications.

Goal: Draw accurate parallel lines along a material edge with adjustable offset measurements.
