I just got a 24' Kiefer  alum stock/combo.  I have mats for it but they need to be cut to fit.

What can I use to cut them? 

thanks!

Razor blade by hand or we use jigsaw in the shop when cutting alot.  If using razor a straight edge works good.

those small battery-powered circular saws with the little 3 or 4" blades work well... but be sure to put some scrap wood underneath the mat before cutting!!

Location: Newport News, VA		Wecut mine by hand and used a little hand saw, but found that they cut a whole lot easier if you have someone to hold the end being cut and keep tension on it.  They really weren't that hard to cut that way.

Hacksaw... Spread open as you cut, just like unzipping a zipper.
