Works in my Spellbinders Platinum
I bought this to replace the cutting plate on my Spellbinders Platinum die cutter because mine had warped so bad in just a couple of weeks. As far as i can tell, this self healing mat is the same as the "magic" mat but way cheaper. It fits perfectly on the base plate and is flat. When i got it from the mail box it was cold so i let it get room temperature under some heavy books to ensure it acclimated while flat. I am beyond happy with this mat.

5.0 out of 5 stars different from softer "self-healing" mats
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2023
Size: 8.5" x 12"Verified Purchase
I was expecting the softer self-healing feel, like a green one I used to have on my drawing table. This is much harder & sturdier. The blade definitely makes a very slight "scratching" sound on the mat when cutting, so you know you're thru the material you're cutting. My old green soft self-healing mat was so quiet it seemed like the blade was burying into the mat more deeply before realizing it. Nonetheless, I like that this Alvin mat is thicker & sturdier, not floppy like my old green mat. I keep it next to my desktop, it's so handy, the size I got fits in front of my monitors on my desk for quick cuts. I can't believe it's self-healing, but the "scratch marks" on the mat from the cutting blade don't really cut in as I can run my finger nail over them and it's still a smooth surface. (I haven't used it that much yet but time will tell.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Companion for Lightbox
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021
Size: 8.5" x 12"Verified Purchase
I have a lightbox without a cutting surface which I use for quilt paper piecing. I considered getting a new one with a ruled cutting surface so I could cut directly on the lightbox, but the one I had in mind, which had been demonstrated in several online videos, was very expensive. I decided to try this cutting mat since it was advertised to be translucent, and it lives up to the advertising. It seemes to be very high quality, makes a perfect companion to my lightbox, fits within the lighted area perfectly, and I can store it along with the lightbox. As an added bonus, the mat came with an Exacto knife. I'm very happy with this purchase, which cost much less than the one I was originally considering.

I use this for taping my large watercolor projects. The measurements provide help when I tape it to get even lines around my work and to keep my surface from buckling. I also use it to protect my workspace. It is great when I need to use my exacto knife. It’s very sturdy; not flimsy like most self-healing mats. An all-around helpful tool in the studio. I had another from the same brand for many years and knew I could trust it to be just what I needed. It didn’t disappoint!
