What is marking out?Show answer
Before any material is removed, the part is marked out: the dimensions on the drawing are transferred onto the material so the worker knows exactly where to cut. Common tools are the steel rule, scriber (scratches the line), engineer's try square (right angles), odd-leg calipers and a centre punch (marks a hole centre so the drill does not wander).
