Rhino Cutting Mats from Speedpress is what I have, works great.
http://www.speedpress.com/products/2/1
Looks like they now will custom cut them to any required size, when I got mine I just put it on the table and ran a router with a roundover bit all the way around the table.

I just ordered a new set of Rhinos from Global Industrial. Wasn't for this stupid weather I would of had them today.
I had three of the speedpress mats at my old job (24' table)
Used them for over 7 years. Had the grid printed right on them.
Went on my own in 2002 and bought one for my 4x8 table.
This one came with a separate grid on thin plastic you lay underneath.
It's fine till using it. You can flip them when needed.
Since they come rolled up, it might take a day or two for it to lay flat.
I set my heat gun on it "one time" .... made it balloon up a little in a 4" area.
After you use them a while, there may be little sharp spikes show up from cutting.
Just slice them off with a razor blade.
Never used any other than the speedpress brand, so can't really say others might be just as good for less money.

Got a Rhino mat the other day from NGlantz..very reasonably priced...I thought I would be clever and design a grid with .5 inch squares and number the sides, and mark 12 inch sections..
I printed it on our UV flatbed and it looks great..unfortunately my awesome grid doesn't hold up well to scraping and cutting...DOH! But it feels nice to the touch lol
