Gunsmith's bench mats are a dime a dozen and often treated almost as disposable items. When we decided to develop a new one of our own, we wanted to offer something of excellent quality that was durable and also looked good. This Brownells Non-Slip Bench Mat is made of a very flexible, solvent- and oil-resistant synthetic rubber material. It's so pliable it will lie perfectly flat EVEN after you've had it rolled up for a long time.

By "bench mat" we mean it covers most of the top of your gunsmithing workbench! The large 35.4" (90cm) x 15.7" (40cm) size means almost any part or sub assembly you're working on will not extend past the edges of the mat. And it truly is "non-slip". The rubber base has plenty of adhesion, so once you position this mat on the bench top, it will not slip around while you work.

The synthetic silk-like top fabric positively cannot scratch or abrade even delicate blued finishes, AND it offers something we have not seen on any other bench mat currently on the market. The edges are stitched all the way around. Technically, this is called a "serged edge," and it means the top fabric will not peel away and separate from the rubber base. We've all probably had that happen with bench mats over the years, or at least with a mouse pad (remember those?). This edge also provides a neat, beveled transition from the mat to the bench surface surrounding it, rather than a sharp, pronounced ledge.

The top fabric is in the warm, comforting Brownells colors. The brown cuts down on glare from overhead lights, and the chrome yellow provides plenty of contrast with any pins, screws, and small gun parts you place there. Our logo is tastefully applied at the top left, so everybody who visits your shop will know who is your favorite gun parts/gunsmithing tools supplier!
