A tile setter's measuring tool includes a cup slide in the form of an elongate bar having a through-extending passageway along a substantial proportion of its length and a pivot mount at one end, an object guide pivotally mounted to the pivot mount, and a tile cup block slidably engaged to the cup slide by a fastener passing through the passageway, permitting positioning of the tile cup block at a desired orientation and location along the passageway, the tile cup block having an upper surface and a lower surface, each of the upper and lower surfaces being provided with spacers in arrangements that differ from one another. A tile setter may measure a needed tile size from an installed tile to a perimeter object by positioning the object guide adjacent the perimeter object and the tile cup block spacers on the lower surface adjacent an installed tile, repositioning the tool to a tile to be measured with the spacers adjacent a tile edge and defining a tile edge to be cut by the position of the object guide, the spacers providing an adjustment in the measurement to allow for a desired grout width.
