Cutting and work mats
Mats for safe cutting, measuring and model work
Cutting and work mats protect your desk surface when using modelling knives, blades and other tools. They also provide a flat and stable work surface for cutting plasticard, paper, foil and other materials used when building miniatures, terrain and dioramas.
Marked measuring grids and guide lines make accurate measuring, straight cuts and the preparation of consistent parts easier. Different mat sizes allow you to choose a suitable work surface based on the available desk space and the scale of your project.
The mat creates a protective layer between the blade and your work surface, helping reduce scratches and damage to the desk while cutting.
The marked grid and guide lines make it easier to measure materials, check angles and make precise, repeatable cuts.
Smaller mats are ideal for compact hobby workspaces, while larger formats provide more room for terrain, dioramas and larger projects.
When using a modelling knife, guide the blade through the material with several light, controlled passes. The cut will be more accurate, the risk of the tool slipping will be reduced, and there will be less strain on both the mat and the blade itself. Always use a sufficiently sharp knife for a clean result.
