Abstract: A tool and method for marking dimensions for cutting a tile include a platform with a front wall defining an x axis, a side wall defining a y axis perpendicular to the x axis, and a front guideline defining an x? axis parallel to the x axis. A finger attached to the platform is manually extendable to a retained protracted position. A conformable member is disposed at the distal end of the finger and is configured to conformably match the contour of an obstruction. The platform is configured for superposed alignment with an installed tile adjacent to an area with the obstruction, and also for alignment with a loose tile to be cut. The conformable member provides a guide for marking the surface of the loose tile to accommodate the obstruction.

Abstract: A tool and method for marking dimensions for cutting a tile include a platform with a front wall defining an x axis, a side wall defining a y axis, with the y axis being perpendicular to the x axis, and a front guideline defining an x? axis parallel to the x axis. Also included are a plurality of telescopic fingers which are manually extendable, in parallel with the y axis, to releasably retained protracted positions. The platform is configured for superposed alignment with an installed tile adjacent to an area with an obstruction, and also for adjacent alignment with a loose tile to be cut. Distal ends of protracted fingers indicate points on the surface of the loose tile for marking guidemarks demarcating dimensions for cutting the loose tile.
