dave have you tried using a piece of angle iron instead :U

Place the angle against the round stock to scribe a parallel line or two on it.

hey mate

ah yes thanks mate was thinking about that but wasnt too sure how acurate it would be. would you need a bevelled edge on the scribing edge of the angle bar ??

thanks

HI Dave,
If you bevelled both edges by machining you would have less distortion than if you just bevelled one edge. Aluminium angle is great for this.
