- at least one alignment guide positioned on the second face at one of the first end and the second end, the at least one alignment guide being adapted to guide movement of the body along the siding;
- a plurality of holes extending through the body from the first face to the second face, each of the plurality of holes having internal threads;
- a cutting member having a working end and a gripping end, the member being received in a selected one of the plurality of holes in the body, with the gripping end extending from the first face and the working end extending from the second face, the cutting member having external threads which mate with internal threads in the selected one of the plurality of holes;
