How Does A Self Healing Cutting Mat Work

Extra large mat that is ideal for commercial applications.

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. The outer plies are 75 mm thick and give the mat self healing properties. 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.

It is a large self healing cutting mat that will protect your work area. It may seem like magic to a lot of people but it is simply great engineering and science. The inner core is 1 5 mm thick and prevents mat cut through and extends blade life. Our professional quality self healing cutting mats are 3 millimeters thick and made of 3 plies.

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. 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. Protect your entire tabletop using this mat. 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.

After the cut is made the surface has a memory and closes back together thus it is referred to. When these cutters are used on self healing mats the cuts they make into the mat go away.
