<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><div>Sincere Thanks for the apology, Ron. <br /> The stuff comes in 3 or 4 foot lengths, seems to have just the right amount of "give" for cutting on, and is "dirt cheap" and easily replaceable. I clamp a long aluminum guide on top of it, the plate glass and bench (1/2" x 1" x the length of the benchtop) butt the sheet of felt up against it, clamp another strip of aluminum the right distance from it for a cutting guide and "roll away". Seems to work very easily and accurately, but I'm always open to suggestions for improvement in technique.<br /><br />Thumpe</div></td></tr></table> <div id="_origMsg_">
