I have just found my MM (slice machine) glass mat.
I have just recently purchased the CM circle templates and blades, but not their mat
I am just wondering if I could use the 2 together, or am I best to purchase the CM cutting mat?
Any ideas?

I feel like the glass mat makes cleaner cuts than the plastic mat from CM. Give it a try with the glass mat and see how you like it. I know some people think the glass mat is too slippery but I think the plastic one has too much grip.

I know some people think the glass mat is too slippery but I think the plastic one has too much grip. I’ve never even considered using my glass mat with the CM system. I guess I thought it would only work with their mat. I will be trying this soon. |

I don't know much about that system, but I just want to let you know that glass cutting boards dulls knives. So might dull your blade too.

Not sure what to use my glass mat for now though, lol |

Disclaimer: I do not have the CM system but something similar.
I love my glass mat and cut lots of things on it. If any of the blades get dull, I just replace them. I could never get smooth cuts with a self-healing mat.

I have the CM system and love it with my glass mat. I don't even own the CM mat anymore!
