Members craig h Posted May 12, 2011 Members Report Posted May 12, 2011 I am in the market to purchase a poly board to use for cutting leather on and whatever other use, to do leather work on. My question is...what's a good size to purchase for all around use? Thanks...Craig h Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted May 12, 2011 Moderator Report Posted May 12, 2011 I cut on HDPE and like a bigger board. I have a 2x4 sheet of 3/8. I stand it up against a wall when I am not cutting. I get less knife drag on HDPE. If you punch on HDPE, it can crack. For punches I like LDPE and have a few 12x12 pieces I can toss on a granite on the working bench and some smaller ones I can slip in a pocket or on the drill press to punch a hole against.
