ABSTRACT:
A marking indicator template jig for marking a tile to be cut and positioned in an open area of a size smaller than a size of the tile. The jig includes first and second legs pivotally connected together. A first telescoping leg is pivotally connected to a second end of the first leg and a second telescoping leg is pivotally connected to a second end of the second leg. The first and second telescoping legs each have an adjustable length. The marking indicator template jig is movable between a first unextended position and a second extended and in use position wherein the first and second legs are positioned within an open area smaller than the tile and against adjacent tiles defining a first portion of the open area and the length of the first and second telescoping legs are adjusted to meet an obstruction defining a second portion of the open area such that the marking indicator template jig is of a dimension substantially equal to that of the open area for use in marking the tile for cutting. The first and second legs may be adjustable in their length for use with tiles having a wide range of sizes. The first and second telescoping legs are pivotally and removably connected to the second end of their respective leg and may be connected together for use in measuring an open area having a size less than half the size of a tile.
