I was just wondering if this would be a good one to get or if I should spend the extra money and get one of the self healing mats and which one is probably the best for the money?
I have a 36" self healing mat which I have had for many years. I prefer Olfa mats for most of my rotary cutting - the June Tailor surface is too hard and I find my cutter slides and gets dull very quickly. Whenever I have a JoAnn's coupon - I only get an Olfa mat - also think about a turning rotary mat - great for squaring blocks!
