Cutting an existing mat

[DeaconBlooze]

I bought a pretty decent mat, and just received I a divot action insert. Now, the issue is getting it installed into my mat. Does anyone have tips in what they've used to cut mats and their backing? I've got 2.5" to cut through.

I used a nice utility knife set from Lowes. There is a large cutter option that can work deep. Frankly a regular blade would surprise you by getting through it too. The part you'll actually need to cut through isn't deep. But this will have the options for you.

I used just a regular utility knife blade to go through about a 2" mat and I cut through from the backside.

Thanks for the tips. I cut through the top with a utility knife, and had a hunting knife that was able to finalize the cut. It worked pretty well.
