Abstract
A carpet cutter for trimming the edge of a carpet in which a base of the carpet cutter includes a flat bottom plate for movement along the carpet. The base also includes an angularly disposed upper plate spaced from the bottom plate to form an angular recess facing an installed molding. The angular recess receives a projecting edge on the installed molding to guide the carpet cutter along the installed molding during the cutting of the carpet. The free bottom edge of bottom plate is received by a recess in the molding to guide the carpet cutter along the installed molding during the cutting of the carpet. A handle is attached to the base and extends upwardly therefrom. The handle carries blades for cutting the carpet edge during the guided movement of the carpet cutter along the molding.
