Abstract:
1. A tile angle measurement and layout tool to precisely measure an angled space and replicate an angled cut for a tile to fit into said angled space comprising: a) a transparent faceplate having a substantially parallelogram and a thin metal plate extending from tile rear portion of the bottom edge thereof to form an abutment edge; b) an elongated transparent ruled slide plate on an underside of said faceplate with a ruled face thereof facing said faceplate so that markings on said slide plate are visible through a front face of said faceplate, said slide plate including a stop projecting perpendicularly from a top edge thereof and extending away from said faceplate, said abutment edge and stop being located on oppositely facing sides of said faceplate and slide plate; c) a centrally disposed channel extending vertically through said faceplate; and d) a pivotal means for retaining said slide plate against said faceplate that enables said slide plate to slide up and down in said channel to a specific position and to rotate on said face plate to establish an angle for cutting said tile to fit into said angled space.
