Ditto on the Morton surface. For tiny pieces you need to cut, simply
put about three layers of newspaper down and cut on that. Then you can
pickup the newspaper and dump the shards in the waste can.

The Morton system is made from poly and will wear quickly. The
"waffle grid" system from Cutters Mate is made from Lexan and wears
considerably better. Also, the pieces can be clipped together either
with open grid or smooth surface facing up ( to provide a smooth
surface for cutting pieces so small they would otherwise fall into the
grid openings), For multi-angle cutting, there is nothing available
in the industry better then the Cutters Mate "Beetle Bit" system.
