    here are 2 places that sell them. both will do custom sizes. covid may or may not have effected the availability and / or shipping time too.

    Thanks. How easy is it to see the grid under the mats? I read mixed reviews on that.

    Yes, ALvin has what you want. I made my cutting table 48 x 96. Then added a simple piece of molding to the side of the table just high enough to be level when the mat was placed on it. This made it completely smooth on all sides. I did it originally to make sure the mat never shifted but as heavy as it was this wasn't going to be a problem. Love, love my Alvin mat. Its going on 4-5 years now and have no issues with it except the markings are not exact but then seems different brand rulers have the same issue with not being exact so for long cuts I use my tape measure...............and yes, I've check to make sure its exact.
