How does a self healing cutting mat work.

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. 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. The inner core is 1 5 mm thick and prevents mat cut through and extends blade life. This giant self healing cutting mat is ideal for big projects.

It is a large self healing cutting mat that will protect your work area. Our professional quality self healing cutting mats are 3 millimeters thick and made of 3 plies. Clear material that is non glare and thin. The cutting mat is the unsung hero of the architecture and crafting world saving your table and providing an excellent work surface.

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. Self healing cutting mats are made from independent tiny pieces pressed together to create a solid cutting surface. The outer plies are 75 mm thick and give the mat self healing properties.
