You should have no problem cutting 32 x 40 mats. That's the size I bought it for.

We are presently cutting 6" X 24" porcelain tiles and are having no problems. We don't think you will have any problems cutting the tiles you described. we really like our tile saw. Good luck.

Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing. That is the kind of edge that comes from the manufacturer. It is a huge mat for rolling out cookies, dough, and pie crust, but could be used for any other purpose where a silicone mat is desirable. My counters are wide because of an overhang for a breakfast bar, so I love the oversize. But you could be very economical and cut smaller sizes from one big sheet easily. I would not think cutting with scissors would work well, however - use a rotary cutter and mat or find someone who has one. hope this helps you. Sharon

Yes, you can do that. Basically it will cut the 5x7 in two stripes of 3.5"x 5".

If you're asking can it be cut down, yes, I cut one down to fit a 32 inch door.

This mat is thick and has a nicely finished edge. With the proper cutting tool you could definitely cut it to fit, but it might not look as good.

No you cannot cut on this. I used an exacto knife on it and it sliced this mat up. Bummer.

The straight-edge that comes with it is 24 inches long. Since you have to slide the mat cutter along the groove in the straight-edge, if you were trying to make a cut of more than 24 inches, you'd have to stop your cut, move the straight-edge, then finish the cut. It wouldn't be impossible, but you'd have to be very precise in your placement of the straight-edge to keep your cut line even. So, as long as you are careful, there is really no limit to the size you can cut.

The mat is actually about 25 inches....I can't see you folding it smaller that. I would not suggest cutting the mat....I would suggest buying a smaller one if you can find one.

I don't think this is the best option for that; the scissors, while sharp enough to cut normal pet hair, are not sharp enough to go through a thick mat. I have to use regular shears to cut out the mat, or cut it down until it grows out and can be totally cut out.

The bar that the blade travels on floats above the material that is to be cut. The clearance allows for material up to 1/16" to slide under it. It would be possible to slide mat board no thicker than 1/16" under the guide However the blade cuts at a right angle to the surface not like cut mat for photo mounting. I am doubtful that the blade would cut mat board very well either. I have used other devices for cutting the bevel edge required for photo mounting but was never satisfied with the results.

Would not advise as it is thick plastic. If you did cut edges would be rough. Not exactly what you asked, but the mat is not a clear, see-through mat, more opaque & gets dirty.

You could cut it down to size. It is made of very heavy rubber and it is about an inch thick, so it will take a little effort to cut. I would recommend you use a heavy duty utility knife with a sharp / new blade in it for a clean cut. This way will most likely still take several passes trying to cut through it because of the thickness. I'm sure you could use other tools to cut it as well.

Rich, I cut 12 inch tiles on this great saw. But I had to mark the tiles with a pencil and take the guard off. You should be able to do the same. don't rush your cut because the saw will slow down on you. I did my kitchen floor and it turned out great! I had to wear a full face shield and took a garbage bag and cut holes it in for my head & arms because the saw really throws allot of water. I still would use the saw though. Take your time on the cuts and you will be fine.

I do not believe regular scissors will cut the mat, it is a hard plastic - although semi-pliable since it was rolled. It is harder and more brittle than some new ultimate linoleum planks we recently laid, which I was able to cut with scissors.My husband said probably a fine tooth jigsaw would be best cutting it.

No, it will only cut material up to 9" wide. It's designed to cut a boards length, like when you get to the other wall in the room.

I would not cut the 12 x 24 mat into 2 12 x 12 mats. They are designed for larger projects and can be used to create wall decor. I would just buy the 12 x 12 mat if that is the size they need. The mats are very sticky and cutting them in the middle would be sticky and the mat might have trouble loading.
