How does a self healing cutting mat work.

For this post i have put together a collection of the best self healing cutting mats available for purchase. When you cut on the mat using a rotary cutter the blade actually goes between the tiny pieces separating them and not cutting into the surface as a whole unit. The cutting mat is the unsung hero of the architecture and crafting world saving your table and providing an excellent work surface. Our professional quality self healing cutting mats are 3 millimeters thick and made of 3 plies.

This giant self healing cutting mat is ideal for big projects. Better yet if it was really self healing it would re grow the corner itself like a lizard can regrow its tail the actual self healing behaviour is the same as if you were to cut on a thick rubber mat the cut is still there but the material is soft enough that the cut becomes invisible if there s nothing prying it open. Clear material that is non glare and thin. Cutting mats that self heal make great gifts or if you are an artist or drafter yourself these are a must have for any home office.

After the cut is made the surface has a memory and closes back together thus it is referred to. The inner core is 1 5 mm thick and prevents mat cut through and extends blade life. It may seem like magic to a lot of people but it is simply great engineering and science. When these cutters are used on self healing mats the cuts they make into the mat go away.

A sign of a poor quality cutting mat is one where the laminations have separated. Self healing cutting mats are made from independent tiny pieces pressed together to create a solid cutting surface.
