FOLDABLE BASE FOR TILE CUTTER

摘要

A combination manual tile cutter and a method of using the same. A manual tile cutter has an elongated cutting device mounted on a central support base and a pair of side supports pivotally connected on opposite sides of the central support base. The side supports are configured for pivotal movement between a first, open position to provide a generally planar support surface to support a work piece and a second, closed position disposed upwardly from the support base and configured to generally enclose the manual tile cutter in a polygonal (e.g., triangular) configuration. In the closed position, mutually adjacent portions of the side supports are configured to provide a hand grip to facilitate carrying of the manual tile cutter.
