Your cart is empty. Calibre Art bring this unique self healing rotary cutting mat for people who enjoy quilting and other small art and craft projects. The mat provides the perfect surface for you to cut papers, fabrics and leather strips. Not only does it protect your tabletop, it also protects your blades because of the soft compound of the mat that does not dull blades like cardboard does.
The mat’s surface is made with high quality material that is European Commission EN 71-3 compliant. The surface is free of heavy metals and does not emit gas. The self healing property of the compound helps with resealing of surface cuts and allows the mat to retain its smoothness so that the cuts do not interfere with subsequent cutting. The rotating feature of this self healing mat allows you to rotate the mat (and the material) instead of changing your body posture while cutting. This makes cutting easier, better and safer because you retain optimum wrist and arm angles for your cutting hand.
Along with the highly accurate grid lines, there are also many angle lines (every 15 degrees) to assist you when you need to cut special shapes. The grid line color and mat base color are chosen such that they are very easy for the eyes to read, providing enough contrast but not hurting the eyes. The surface texture is designed to not cause glare.
There are 3 size options available for this mat: 18" x 18" (17" grids), 14" x 14" (13" grids) and 8" x 8" (7" grids).

The Calibre Art Rotating Cutting Mat is wonderful. Besides being a well marked and rugged self healing cutting mat, it also rotates. The turntable mechanism is well manufactured. It moves easily when you want to rotate it, but stays put as you are measuring and cutting. I use mine mainly for quilting....cutting fabric with a rotary cutter. I've used mine daily for approximately a month and it is performing wonderfully. I love the 18x18 format. It's large enough for me to square up my quilting as well as do my fussy cutting, and I especially appreciate the quarter inch grid, the circle grid and the angles in the grid. With this cutting mat and my 18" x2.5" ruler I can cut just about anything accurately without having to "cross hand cut" or move around the table, I just rotate the mat never having to move my fabric, and make my next cut effortlessly. Great product and infinitely handy.

This is an amazing product! A cutting mat on a turn-table? What? Who knew?I’m not a quilter, so I had never come across this, but Facebook thinks, because I sew, I must be a quilter, and advertised a product similar to this to me. It was too small & too expensive, so I turned to Amazon to find the largest one available, for the most affordable price, with the best reviews—and this one is a great value for its size and it works!I sew lingerie and all of my pattern pieces are fairly small, as are the fabrics I use.This cutting mat, on top of my cutting table, makes the cutting process so much easier and quicker! I am always cutting the right side of the pattern and don’t need to walk around my table or try to turn the non-turning cutting mat *or* my pattern & fabric! (A “lefty†would always be cutting the left side of their pattern!)It seems to be durable, but I’ve only been using it for a few short months—but it’s still wonderful & in good shape, just like the day it arrived. (I always use sharp, new, and nice rotary cutter blades, so I haven’t had to press very hard, which does extend the life of any self-healing mat.)It did smell a bit at first, but i just let it “off-gas†on my shaded porch for a few days. This is standard with any self-healing mat that has been protected in plastic & not just left out on a retail shelf (to off-gas before you buy it!)

I recently purchased this spinning mat because of the good reviews for it. I'll have to add my good review of it also. I bought the 17 X 17 which is a good size for all uses in my opinion. This is a very good cutting mat and made with great quality materials. I love the way it spins...not so much that it's out of control when you are cutting on it as another mat that I have does....but it is also easy to rotate the mat when you need to. I love the degree of markings on the mat and the foam, yet grippy backing is perfect for holding the mat in place while cutting. I have had no problems with the mat smelling whatsoever. I couldn't be happier with this mat and highly recommend it.

This cutting mat is durable and the turning function is so handy, allowing me to easily cut and trim all four sides of my quilt blocks.

This a wonderful rotating cutting mat worked beautifully from the very first slice of my Rotary blade. The very first evening I got it I squared up 20 quilt blocks perfectly. Now they are ready to be sewn together for a quilt top.

Just received the cutting mat. Have not used it yet. It does turn easily and appears to be a very good cutting mat for the money. It is advertised as an 18"x18" mat. The outside measurements are 18"x18". But you can not cut an 18" block. You can only cut accurately a 17" block. There is a half inch border on each side that makes the total measurement 18". I feel this is a little false advertising. I was expecting to be able to cut an 18" square but can not with this mat. I'm keeping it because I will use the 12 inch, 14 inch and 16 inch markings.
Everything was great. The item came on time.

My wife is a quilter, and this will make cutting fabric a lot easier for her.

Love the fact it is like a lazy Susan in that you do not have to move material around to cut , but simply rotate the top of cutting board. Easy to use.

After reading some of the reviews for the Calibre Art rotating cutting mat I decided to try it rather than another olfa mat. I have a smaller rotating mat made by olfa but I have to say this rotating mat is much nicer. It doesn't come apart like the olfa one always does and the base is a bit thicker. The self healing mat is excellent, I have cut alot on it since buying and it's very good quality. The price is great too. I would definitely recommend buying the Calibre Art mat.

I sew daily and I have 2 other cutting boards but this one is by far the best one. It fits in top of an old dresser I have, it’s perfect for trimming blocks, cutting out masks and cutting quilt strips as you need them. The reason I bought it is it rotates. This feature alone makes it worth its cost.

I have wanted one of these for years but finally bit the bullet and I am so glad I did. This mat is super sturdy and great for quilt piecing. It's very sturdy and turns easily. My only issue is that some deeper cuts don't heal right away. Otherwise, this mat is great and I use it every time I'm in my studio. Very pleased.

I use this product for squariing up quilt blocks and find it excellent , The rotating feature makes it so much easier for me. I would recommend it to others for this use. It is also good for cutting out small pieces of fabric as well.
