Non-Slip Router Mat

For large pieces it works great for sanding with either a hand held orbital sander or a belt sander. As for smaller pieces I found that they tend to bounce around a lot and move out of position.I have not tried it yet with my router.

I found that this worked very well for rounding over all four edges of a board, it stayed in place and I didn't need to worry about it shifting. I found that when I tried to sand a board with a random orbital sander, the piece would shift on the mat or the mat would shift on the workbench.Also, my workbench has a butcher block top (it was originally part of a kitchen set), and the mat would slide around on it. I had to clamp a pine board to the workbench, and then put that mat on that board; which did work.I wouldn't rate it excellent for all of the uses that are mentioned, but it is worth the $9 just for being able to use it for routing with dealing with clamps.

Works great in holding wood pieces in place while routing or sanding.

Wish I'd bought more that one, and I will soon. I can see using this all the time. Excellent product and a great price.

Great product for the price. Has many more uses than just a router. I use it as a vice for flat wood while belt sanding, finish sanding, hand planing, and it works great if cut to size for keeping tools stationary on a bench that would ordinarily be bolted down or wouldn't stay on their own. Very handy. I keep 2 in my shop all the time for multiple uses and probably replace them twice a year as I spend several hours at this hobby year round. It is a night and day difference in convenience for less than 10$ each.
