I used a pair of craft scissors. I can't imagine not being able to cut it with them. I cut my olfa and made a turntable one out of it and I had no problem with the scissors.

How did you turn it into a turntable? I also have a warped mat my total fault but I could cut it smaller but the turntable part is what confuses me.

I used a lazy susan from the thrift store for one of them. Then I purchased a chair swivel for Home Depot, and mounted it on a piece of board the size I wanted to make a smaller one. They both work great but, I like the smaller one better. It is a little lighter than the lazy susan.
