What is the gridded mat called? Is it just and ESD mat? When i type ESD mat into ebay, just blank rolls of it come up...


Yes, i did get this from hackedgadgets...

I call it an ESD mat.

Try searching for conductive/grounded/earthed/static handeling mat.

I think its name is George.

On a more serious note, I dont think that it is an ESD mat, but it does look like something I have seen in an office supplies shop, where it was called a "Cutting Mat".

My wife is a seamstress and it looks like a cutting mat. Try JoAnn Fabrics they have all manner of cool stuff that can be adapted for technology pursuits. Make sure you look like you've been dragged in by a female friend or acquaintance. They get suspicious of solitary males browsing(trolling(?)) a fabric store.

Just 'mince' a little as you walk, they won't be at all concerned!

You can buy them at craft shops, no need for a fabric shop.

I agree, it's a cutting mat - nothing to do with electronics at all.

Ok. Thanks, guys.

specialized products sells them. i beleive they call the antistatic mats.

Na, these are called exacto mats! My grandma uses em for quilts, and she got it from the quilt store (WOW).

 

[Marks256]

I was just wondering. I have a thing about seeing things, then wanting one (or five...)...

I wouldn't expect a cutting mat to be ESD safe; probably just the opposite.

But nice for photographing stuff; built in size reference.

They're quite expensive, too... here's a 5"x7":

Yeah, they are probably pretty static prone. Oh well. I just wanted one for... well... actually i really dont think i need one.

I just use a Antistatic wrist thing, but I never use it anyways. I have always been thinking of getting 2 and creating some type of fool shocker
