I have the Fiskar's and the Olfa rotating mats, two are square and one is a large rectangle. I have used the Brooklyn Revolver and it much better then the ones I have. If I was still cutting a lot I'd have it.

I've been using two mats on top of each other for a long time..
One of gals had her revolving one at a workday and I used it and thought, humm.. nice.. later when I saw the price and went home with my money in my pocket.. I like my two mat set up even more..
Its been mentioned, but using two mats gives me much more room for cutting.. especially when I'm doing a gob of strips into squares!

I'm fortunate to have several sizes of mats. Just lay your block to be cut on the needed size, pick a larger size mat for underneath. You can turn the top mat as you cut. Easy-peasy.
