Largest self-healing cutting mat?
 
I want a really big cutting mat to fit my big cutting surface. I love Olfa mats, but they don’t come big enough. In a perfect world, my mat would be about 48x60 or 72. Does anyone have a source for big self-healing mats? If not, who has the best regular cutting mats that are really big?

Check Alvin. They go up to 48 x 96.

The Amazon reviews on those said they had a very strong chemical smell. Did you encounter that?

When they are new they might smell a little but nothing bad.
Maybe some people are more sensitive than others.

I have a Martelli 30 x 60 that is self-healing

I ordered my last cutting mat from Speedpress. They do custom sizes for free.

These places look great,. I was looking at my pitiful mat just yesterday thinking replacement is in my near future. Thanks for the links

I have an Alvin and it doesn't have a smell. Of Course, its not that big but I enjoy it! I find the measurements are very accurate!

Rhino makes really good self healing mats.....pretty big ones (12 or 16 feet on the long side if you want), but also pretty expensive
here are 2 places that sell them. both will do custom sizes. covid may or may not have effected the availability and / or shipping time too.
