I gave up when mine came apart. I bought a 15" lazy Susan at BB&Beyond, cut a circle and glued in the top to make it even with the edge. Then I Gorilla glued a 20" square of heavier plexiglas to that and used double sided tape to tape down my Olfa cutting board. Total cost $18.00 and it works like a champ except I left it at a friends house in PA and still have to go back to pick it up. In the meantime, she says she is holding it hostage until I make her one. Lol

I hope you haven't purchased one yet cuz I found a fabulous one!!! It is 18"x24" and the mat is replaceable!!! It is really thick and doesn't wobble. I have a round and square ones and this one is the best. The plastic is super thick - 3/8". I found it at the Jacksonville Quilt Show 2 weeks ago and I've have used it to death! It is made by Bebas Enterprises in Gainesville, GA 770-712-5000. They also make cutting mats that are at least double the thickness of any I have ever seen. A friend got a huge one that covers her entire cutting table (larger than 8'x4') for about $160 and it is super fab. This is where I will be getting all my cutting mats in the future.

I am not affiliated with Bebas, just a really happy customer. The protective stuff on the edges is because I am getting ready to pack up all my quilty stuff and go back home to Washington from Florida and I don't want to damage it (it came that way from the seller).

I have all of them; primarily use the 12x12. I don't have enough space to turn the 17x17 on my cutting surface.
My all time favorite is the Brooklyn Revolver - it's circular and a breeze to use for up to 5 1/2" pieces
Unfortunately, Come Quilt with Me no longer carries them. Pat said they became far too expensive even at wholesale.

i bought a BROOKLYN REVOLVER 18" about 12 yrs ago, the mat slipped off the top over a years period of time, she gladly took it back, i got the one with the iron on the orther side, that warped in less than one year. maybe make one yourself out of a lazy susuan
