Well thats some interesting advive on Mammoth , Here is the method I have found works best for me , I use a Small Milling machine with a vise on it , I put a solid peace of tungston under it so it cant go any lower and help especialy if i need to take more off one end than the other , I set it as I want to cut it the clamp it with leather on ea side of the mat. put a Good sharp 3/4 Mill in it he machine and set it on med/high speed take off 1/8 in at a time , I never cut all the way to the side edges where the vise is but a trench down the middle , when I get it a thics as i need it , I pull it out go to the bandsaw and trim off the 2 edges putting the blade perpendicular with the flat on the back side , use a fresh 220 belt and lightly finnish sand it flat , this way almost No heat builds up ever , T
