does this siding gauge work with beveled 1x8 cedar siding? thanks!

This siding gauge works best with material that is about 5/16" thick. If you cedar siding is only 5/16" thick, then it would work great. Additionally, it is designed to work with long boards and hold them for you while you nail it on, for one-person application. If you are doing little cedar slats, this would probably be over-kill, but would work if it's the correct thickness (5/16").

As long as the thickness is within the tolerance of the gauge, it should work. We have only used them on fiber cement siding so far.

No. They only work on vinyl siding. It has specific grooves, where the pieces fit together, that hardiplank does not.

I've used it on a ton of stuff. Works great for me. As per your question, I've never used it on a cedar deck, but as one person already stated, the site has a lot of testimonial videos and one of them is cedar siding. So your deck shouldn't be a problem.

I don't see any reason it won't work. Fantastic gauge, enjoy. Once it's zeroed at 90d everything else is dead on. I cut 8 45s and no matter how I put them together they came out at 90 degrees.

Probably not. Thickest we cut was 12 gauge aluminum. 1/8" thick is 8 gauge. May cut a few feet but would probably jam and burn up if you had a lot to do.

a 3" would work just fine, yes for wood paneling. 1/8 inch is too small, no? 3" is what we used.

If you are handy, yes. We used ours on a pole building siding....which was a pain, but it worked.

I am sorry I can't answer that question. I truely am an "HO" guy and didn't really look into the "O" gauge DCC compatiblity of the set with other "O" gauge systems. Lionel themselves can most likely answer that for you. "Good Luck!'

This model is for thinner siding. I think they have a different part number for the thicker siding.

I do not have t he tool at this site. It's less than 1/4" wide as I remember but greater than 1/8". When making a cut on cement siding I found that it is best to mark on back side and cut on that dide as well to make a cleaner cut.

Yes it will work with 0 gauge and no adapter. That's what I'm currently using in mine.

I believe those are the dimensions of the box that it came in. Couldn't tell you for sure because I don't have the box anymore. However I know that my gauge is not anywhere near 8 inches in any direction.

YES. I used it on vinyl siding this spring and it seems to be working fine.

I use it on my composite deck and white vinyl deck railing and it works fine. I'm not sure about vinyl house siding.

It worked great for me on my house siding with the same issue. Very pleased. Wish I had ordered the larger size.

Go to the PacTool web site and it will tell you the maximum thickness. You do not want to force larger siding in it as damage and scraping will occur. It will also slow your job down if you have to pry and pull the Grecko off.
