The Sider
By Benjamen JohnsonMalco’s “The Sider” helps you measure and mark pieces of vinyl siding quickly and accurately. Made from 18 gauge stainless steel, the Sider has precisely spaced holes staggered vertically every 1/8″. To draw or score perfect horizontal lines, stick a pencil or knife blade into a hole and slide the tool along the siding.
Malco sells five different varieties of the Sider to work with most siding styles: the 4″ double, the 5″ double, the 4-1/2″ Dutchlap, the 5″ Dutchlap, and the 3″ triple. Any of these versions of the Sider will run you somewhere between $11 and $21 before shipping or tax.

Ook so when doing siding…..Take your first cut off and make one of these with a drill…… Use it with a pencil, and if you wipe wit till come off so it is like the dry erase board you always wanted…….

Yeah, you can make one, but I wouldn’t have thought about it until now. I am glad I am only 1/4 done siding my house!
