Stop marking every sheet by hand.

Set it once. Slide. Done.

This Folding Ruler Marking Gauge turns your folding ruler into a fast, repeatable layout tool for drywall, MDF, plywood and panels.

No more:

  • Measuring every single line
  • Fighting the 0 cm end
  • Crooked layout marks
  • Pencil slipping at the start

Just set your measurement, tighten the knob, and slide along the edge.

Clean. Straight. Repeatable.

Boost MeWarning: Pressing Boost may cause good vibes ✨

Designed for real jobsite use

✔ Bridges over folding ruler hinges
✔ Strong printed knobs – no extra hardware needed
✔ Works on sheet goods and boards
✔ Perfect for layout spacing like 30 cm centers

Includes: Zero End Cap (0 cm Pencil Hole)

The 0 cm end is always the annoying part.

Pencil slips.
You struggle to hold it.
The first mark ends up wrong.

This version fixes that.

Drop your pencil into the integrated 0 cm hole and start perfectly every time.

Why this tool makes sense

  • Faster layout on multiple sheets
  • Consistent spacing
  • Great for production work
  • Apprentice-proof

Built by a carpenter — designed to save time on site.

 

If it helps your workflow, consider boosting it 🙌
