Where is the best place to buy "milling mat" for a routing/cutting table?

I got one from blackbox: https://blackboxvac.com/product/black-box-grip-lock-mat/
Not a big fan of it, mostly because the majority of my issues are vertical lifting, not sideways motion, which this mat definitely helped with. Are you pulling a vacuum through mdf, or using a blower intake on a pegboard/waffle pattern?

What are you cutting? Doubtful you need this.

I got mine from airmark. Expensive, but it works fine

Usually a spoil board is what you need (if you're cutting straight through) - just a piece of thin mdf/osb.

The mats are primarily for engraving, but do nothing to stop work lifting.

Depending on where you are, a cheap alternative is the dash mat to stop things moving in the truck. You can often buy it on a roll.

Standard routing of ACM, The belt on my Summa F1612 is way more expensive to have replaced that a cutting mat.

Full bed vacuum on my Summa.

I have used a few of these, they all work great. Let me know if you have any specific questions on them.
