They are a nice mat, they work for referencing but mainly because if u cut into it with an x-acto it "heals" right back up. Basically the cut closes up and doesn't cause your knife to be drug back into the same groove. So you could cut right over the same area again without issue.

Their also nice because they help keep parts from sliding around while working on them compared to a countertop or bench top and don't scratch up parts either.
