Semi mud flaps purchased at your local truck stop. Just get the ones with no lettering or raised sections. Large, cheap, doesn’t damage knife edge or punch ends, easily replaced and doesn’t stain!! They work awsome!! This a great idea! Also, here in corn and bean farming country- some grain elevators have rubber(ish) belting. Also, my weight machine sits on a rubber mat that is thick and wasn't expensive- i don't recall the original intended use...may have to look into that again...great ideas! Thanks!

Fowlingpiece Report post Posted January 9, 2018 This is great and THE way to go if you can pick up. One 3/8 sheet would cost 191.58 to ship ; ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brianm77 Report post Posted January 13, 2018 If you are going to cut on a mat, then lay a big sheet of cardboard or a few planks of vinyl flooring on top. If it gets damaged with a few cuts, dye, grease whatever it is easy to replace. I have been thinking about flooring on mine for a while just have not done it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brmax Report post Posted February 8, 2018 In my shop table refit, with a drawer/storage build. I'm installing a King Plastics product; King Starboard ST in the 1/2". Its a step I changed to because this is made or designed to not warp. I have plans on a couple tops that lift for a bit of storage, the tops will have this material added on. The lifting should be fun and a project itself. It seems to be good with a rotary blade and knives that are sharp. Simple decision on the ST series, addition to its their new product is because it came in brown/ Mocha . This hdpe choice has been a thought for several years, and bolstered from several posted experiences. So this is finally but slowly coming together, and now back to the build. Thanks everyone have a great day Floyd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fire88 Report post Posted February 14, 2018 I just built my new table and picked up a 1/4” sheet of hdpe from my local menards. So far I’m really happy with much better than my commercial cutting mat, knives slide better and easier to cut rounded corners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
