Hey all,

Looking for recommendations on places to purchase sacrificial matts other than direct from Kongsberg/Esko, who have you guys had good luck with?

We have been using underlays from CutGuru and like them a lot on our Kongsberg. Only issue is they come in 4' x 6' sheets.

Cutting Mats

I need some new cutting mats, the ones I have came from Grimco about 2-2.5 years ago and the second side is leaving plastic bits all over the place now. I was thinking of buying a matt from yellow tools since I can get a single 20ft piece for my main tables, are the worth the extra money or are...

I like the VTX Grip and the Aquiline from this place. I use them on my Summa.

Multicam have some good affordable matts , we normally get them delivered in a few days of ordering.

We use the X-Edge Matrix Mat. It has a rubbery feel which helps to hold material in place and it breathes, so the vacuuming can still get through. It works great. We actually use it for all materials (even when we probably don't need it) because we like it so much.

save yourself a boatload of money. Don't use sacrificial mats when routing. Go to Home Depot buy a sheet of 1/8" masonite...works absolutely the same. Masonite is breathable and the vacuum will hold. If your routing table has a conveyor, your zero will now be more uniform.
