The mat on it is blue.....let me tell you, the blue mats do NOT allow you to cut good. It's NOT the blade. It kept skipping sections as if the blade had a ding in it. I got out my green mat and the blade cuts just fine, thank you. SO.....if anyone asks, green mat...always buy a green mat!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for your input on this matter. I've been using a blue mat. I couldn't figure out if it was my rotary cutter or me but it kept skipping like you said. Had no idea it would be the mat. What a relief, kept changing blades, only helped a little.
