  • Patent number: 4965935
    Abstract: A tile cutting table is set forth wherein a support table includes a rear integrally formed abutment ledge provided with side end portions extending outwardly beyond the sides of the table for providing extended support of rigid tile members supported on an upper surface of the table. The cutting and measuring rule is pivotally mounted to a stationary member fixedly secured to an upper surface of the abutment edge by a plurality of hinges with a rod slidably mounted within the hinges. The rule includes a longitudinal and medially aligned slot for receiving a cutting tool therein, wherein the slot is of a width substantially equal to the width of the blade of the cutting tool. The rule may be angularly oriented and repositionable within an arcuate slot to re-orient the rule from five degrees to ninety degrees relative to the support table and abutment ledge. The abutment ledge is spaced above the support surface to accommodate a tile between the rule and the support surface.
