  • Publication number: 20060154014
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to devices that aid in the cutting and/or forming of a floor covering member. More specifically, one embodiment of the present invention is adapted to selectively interface with obstructions generally found in structures such as pillars, columns, door jams, fixtures, etc., that necessarily require the cutting of tiles. Often this cutting operation causes tiles to crack and/or otherwise be damaged wherein time and materials are generally wasted. The present invention accommodates the obstructions and forms a template that is placed on an uncut tile to define an accurate cut line, thus reducing the time and cost of a flooring operation.
