Floor coving groover

A floor covering grooving tool comprising:

• a longitudinally oriented handle having a blade mounting end and a handgrip,
• a flat blade mount projecting from said blade mounting end of said handle and having mutually opposing flat blade mounting faces,
• a strip of metal having sharp edges and bent into a U-shaped configuration to form a cutting blade having mutually opposing legs mounted against said flat blade mounting faces of said blade mount to thereby form a U-shaped cutting tunnel with said blade mount, and
• a flat, narrow guide fin secured to said blade mount at said U-shaped cutting tunnel and residing equidistant from said opposing legs of said cutting blade and in longitudinal alignment with said handle.

A tool for forming grooves in coving at abutting upturned surfaces of sheets of flooring having edges that abut each other at a linear demarcation therebetween comprising:

• a longitudinally aligned handle having a handgrip and a blade mounting end projecting from said handgrip,
• a flat blade support mounting plate projecting longitudinally from said blade mounting end of said handle and having opposing, mutually parallel side faces,
• a grooving blade formed into a U-shaped configuration with opposing legs respectively residing in contact with said opposing side faces of said blade support mounting plate, thereby forming a grooving tunnel with said blade support mounting plate, and
• a flat, narrow guide fin secured to said blade support mounting plate immediately adjacent said grooving tunnel and oriented parallel to and equidistant from said opposing legs of said grooving blade.
