Abstract
Apparatus and method to properly cut to size the carpet tiles which are used to complete the carpeted areas adjacent walls, doors, etc. in an area to be carpeted. The apparatus encompasses a machine which is placed against a carpet tile already in position and has spring loaded arms which extend therefrom to a point abutting the wall or door structure to fix the position of a cutter on the apparatus so that it cuts the actual size necessary to fill the gap between the previously laid tile and the wall or door sensed by the spring loaded arms.
