I just picked up these larger sized "sticky - reusable" thinner cutting mats and they go thru my Roland GX-24 with no problem. I plan to use them for non-adhesive backed materials such as lighting gels and thin,stabilized cloth patches.
More later if it works, (or not).

re: Rtape AT65 - US Cutter calls it Medium Tack and Sign Warehouse calls it High Tack Which is correct ??
Thanks

'Just ordered 2 "sticky" cutting mats from local sewing and vac. shop- they are for the ''Brother Hobby and Craft Cutter" and are used to stick fabric, paper, and vinyl to the re-usable cutting surface. They are stiff!!They may be ordered from "Brother Cutting Machine.com and come in various sizes. I plan to tape 2 together for a 24"X24" size.
Will post again if this works out OK or not

Beginners luck, I guess- I just measured out an X on the flange, centered the pilot bit of the hole saw on the crosshairs, and drilled slowly.
'have seen some small wrinkles in the applied tape though.

'Best way to see it in action is to cut a "star" shape with sharp points and watch it spin as it changes direction..

Beautiful Work!!!

The Client changed their mind, placed the vinyl on the inside, and spray painted a rectangle over the design.' Not much I could say, as it was gratis work for a non-profit for community service organization.

Larger Cutting Mats for a Cutter
in Off Topic Section
Posted
It is an accessory for the Brother Cutting Machine (on line search will have a "where to buy section" for your location) the 12"X12" is $19.95 and the 12"X24" is $24.95 . The Printed Rulers on the mat can be cut off (unless U are using Brother Machine) The Rep. Says that the mats can be repaired or spliced together with good quality thin packaging tape.
I got mine over the counter at a local NW store called " Quality Sewing and Vac. Shop"
