Status: offline 		What type of cutting board do you use to cut balsa, light ply, and film covering. I thought it would be interesting to know what everybody else is using. I have tried several over the years, but I am now using the best of all I have tried. I placed a 1/4 inch thick, 6 feet 8 inch by 3 ft. wide plate glass sheet on my cutting table. You would just have to try it to believe how well it works. Knife blades stay sharp much longer and you will get some of the cleanest cuts in your film coverings that you have ever had. James Goss

Status: offline 		I have an interior door on top of my building table that works good. It is flat and smooth and T pins go in it fairly easy. I have thought about using glass, but what do you do when you need to pin something down? (That bottle of thin CA I had run out on the table would have been easier to clean up on the glass.) I guess I could get one of those magnet boards, just never tried one.

This will get me in trouble but doors are great to work on and glass is great to cut on, don't mix the two, they are just tools to use to build on.
They're just jigs used to build on.

Top Shelf mentioned that he used the mirror for cutting film, and a mat for cutting other material. I thought that the self healing mat was made for cutting covering. What are the drawbacks of the mat?

Status: offline 		I think some of you are confusing cutting boards with building boards. These are two separate subjects; you do not use a building board as a cutting board. A good building board such as ceiling tile can be used over and over to build maybe 25 or 30 planes on if it is prepared in the right way. If you use it as a cutting board it will be destroyed in no time at all. I have found that cutting film on a cutting mat will allow the film to be pulled into the cut and not be as clean of a cut as you will get on glass. James Goss

I love those cutting mats sold through Great Planes - have a couple of them. Great for cutting both wood and coverings - just have to clean it up before cutting MoneyKote...
