Fantastic Cutting Mat
By NiteWalker
First off, I'm one of the people out there who research most purchases. I try to compare features that aren't normally mentioned on product pages. For instance, while shopping for an 18"x24" cutting mat I compared the obvious (color, average customer reviews, price, etc.) to the not so obvious, like layers and thickness. First off, besides the larger size, I decided I needed a cutting mat with good contrast between the guidelines and the mat itself. Until I received this mat, I was using a smaller (6"x18") Fiskars mat for my cutting needs. It handled cuts of all types fine, but the size showed it's limitation very quickly, and the orange guidelines on the dark gray background made lining up the edges of items to be cut somewhat difficult.

So after looking around at the various cutting mats available, it came down to this one, an Alvin and a Dhale. I ruled out the Alvin because I really didn't want a green mat. The dahle mats look and seem very nice, and have gr eat reviews (in fact I have a black one on the way as well), but only the black one seemed suitable for my needs; it has a black background and light gray guidelines. The blue Dahle is nice, but I don't feel there's enough contrast between the background and the guidelines. A shame really, because blue is my favorite color. As for the transparent Dahle, they really need to give that one an overhaul, as there is nearly no contrast between the background and guidelines. Blue guidelines would make the transparent Dahle much more desirable, and more importantly, useful and functional.

So after ruling out the Alvin, and blue and transparent Dahle mats, I ordered the X-Acto. Shipping was prompt, packaging was very sufficient for the item and the price was very good (ordered from shoplet). As for the cutting mat itself, it's absolutely fantastic. It's a nice light gray with light blue guidelines. The contrast is perfect. It's a 5 layer design, like most of the better bra nds. What really surprised me is the thickness. This cutting mat is twice that of my Fiskars.

I am completely satisfied with my purchase. If you need a good, thick, reliable cutting mat, give the X-Acto brand a good look. My Fiskars has served me well, and still has a place in my workspace, but it's taking the bench while the X-Acto becomes my front runner.

great for projects or home crafters
By ScubaSteveDE
this self healing mat works great!
as a graphic design major in college i do alot of cutting with razor blades. to this point i have been doing it on a piece of plastic which would break the tips off my blades after a few use's and dull the blade which is bad when you are cutting paper alot for projects... seeing it could cause the paper to rip instead of cut.
the mat is a very large 18x24 in size with measurements on the sides and a nice grid for keeping cuts straight.
this mat will be with me untill it needs to be replaced... but after using it for a year now i think it will be many more years till that has to happen.

Lasts forever
By VAGolfDad
This our second one in about 9 years. The last one lasted about 9 years but in reality we should have replaced it sooner. We use this pad probably over 100 cuts per day. Like I said, it will last years.
