Abstract
Vinyl tile cutting devices are disclosed herein. The disclosed vinyl tile cutting devices include a base element. The base element is configured to support a vinyl tile thereon. The disclosed vinyl tile cutting devices further include a cutting assembly. The cutting assembly includes one or more rotatable cutting blades for cutting said vinyl tile in a generally linear manner. In some embodiments, the vinyl tile cutting device includes a heating element. The heating element is configured to heat said tile prior to the cutting of said vinyl tile.
Claims13
A vinyl tile cutting device configured to cut vinyl tiles into a plurality of different shapes, said vinyl tile cutting device comprising:
- a base element, said base element being conductive and configured to support a vinyl tile thereon during a cutting process, said vinyl tile having at least one cutting path;
- a cutting assembly disposed above said base element, said cutting assembly including a plurality of non-motorized, toothless, rotatable cutting blades for cutting said vinyl tile in a generally linear path along a longitudinal extension of said base element, each cutting blade defining an axis of rotation, and each cutting blade is disposed spaced-apart from at least one other cutting blade in the direction of the axis of rotation;
- and
- a heating element disposed beneath said base element and substantially spanning the longitudinal extension of said base element beneath the path of said cutting assembly, said heating element configured to adjustably and simultaneously heat all cutting paths of said vinyl tile prior to and contemporaneous with the cutting of said vinyl tile;
- wherein said vinyl tile cutting device is configured to accurately cut said vinyl tile at a plurality of predetermined cutting angles relative to one or more edges of said vinyl tile.
