Self-Healing Cutting Mats


A self-healing mat protects the bench top, the blade tip and the part all at once. Tamiya's A4 and A3 mats carry metric grids sized for kit work; Excel's 12×18 and 18×24-inch mats suit bigger jobs in green or black; and SMS's premium A2 covers a whole build station, with ProEdge and a pocket 4×4-inch Excel mat rounding out the sizes.

Cut along the grid lines to square parts without a rule, and retire a scarred mat to the paint side of the bench rather than the bin.
