Additional Malco FCMS 5-Inch to 8-Inch Exposure Facing Gauge and Overlap Gauge Set Information

The Malco FCMS Speed Set includes the two most innovative tools for Fiber Cement Siding available. The Speed Set includes one Malco FCFG Fiber Cement Facing Gauge and one Malco FCG2 Fiber Cement Siding Overlap Gauge. These tools will allow one person to quickly and accurately install fiber cement siding. Using the overlap gauge as an extra set of hand while using the facing gauge and nailing across the width of the plank assures greater accuracy of the desired exposure and guards against sagging. The Facing Gauge is adjustable for precise 5", 6", 7" and 8" exposures, requires no additional tools and is easily held.

 

What Customers Say About Malco FCMS 5-Inch to 8-Inch Exposure Facing Gauge and Overlap Gauge Set:

Use the guide to adjust it for the desired spacing. If you set the first line properly the entire wall should fall into place. If they would think about what they were saying before making a statement they would realize that the answer is right in front of them.

Remove the hanger from the first end after you set the nail and remove the second hanger BEFORE you set the nail on that end. Check it every 5 rows or so and sneak it back in if you have to. (You can remove the first one before nailing too if you want to).This product works great.

Several people had negative things to say about these tools. Simply nail one end while using the height guide to get it exact and then do the other end. If you were careful then it should be consistent regardless of the tolerance of the planks.

Use the hangers to hold the plank in place. It works like a champ.

I ended up using a plain old box cutter and speed square to score and snap. Even with the special blade, the dust and fiber-cement particles were a MAJOR issue. As a side note, when I started the siding, I used a table-saw with a fiber-cement blade to rip and a B&D 18V cordless skillsaw for crosscuts.

For a novice, these were a life-saver. My neighbor, who is a home builder, saw me using them and came over to find out what I was using. I bought these to help me with a garage that I was building, for the most part, by myself.

Even though he uses three guys to install siding (two on scaffolding to install, one to cut) he was going to buy a set for those rare occasions when one of his guys didn't make it in. (Three passes front and back) Worked like a charm, even for angle cuts. Especially the metal overlap guage set.

The red plastic face gauge is ok for short runs but I would probably want something a little more accurate for long runs.

The facing gauge was a little difficult to remove but it was helpful as a second hand. The facing and overlap gauge set I purchased was as explained and worked fairly well.

These two tools are a must have. 1200 square feet of Hardi Plank siding (5 inch exposure) by myself.

I HIGHLY recomend this product. This tool is an absolute lifesaver. I was able to quickly AND accurately install (80) 12' pieces of siding with NO HELP.
