Miller Softy Anti-Static Work Mat – 11" x 14", White

Protect delicate components and work surfaces with the Miller Softy Anti-Static Work Mat. Measuring 11" x 14", this cushioned white work mat provides a clean, anti-static surface for electronics repair, precision assembly, small-parts handling, camera repair, watch work, and other detailed bench tasks.

The soft surface helps protect delicate assemblies while making tiny screws, springs, and components easier to manage. When a small part is dropped onto the mat, the cushioned surface helps keep it from bouncing or rolling away—a valuable advantage when working with easily lost precision components.

A non-slip backing keeps the mat securely positioned, even on smooth glass surfaces, while the anti-static material helps provide a more suitable work area for sensitive components. The mat is inexpensive enough for disposable use but can also be cleaned with soap and water without affecting its anti-static quality.

Specifications

A Better Surface for Small-Parts Work

Anyone who works with tiny screws, springs, washers, gears, electronic components, or other precision parts knows how quickly a dropped component can disappear from a hard workbench.

The Softy cushioned surface makes small-parts handling easier by providing a softer landing area. Rather than striking a hard bench and bouncing away, dropped components are more likely to remain close to where they land.

That makes this mat particularly useful for detailed work involving:

• Electronics repair
• Camera and lens repair
• Watch and clock repair
• Precision mechanical assembly
• Small-parts repair
• Hobby electronics
• Instrument repair
• Model building
• Bench assembly
• General technical work

Cushioned Protection for Delicate Assemblies

The mat does more than help contain small parts. Its cushioned surface protects delicate assemblies while they're resting on the bench.

This can be especially useful when working with equipment that has finished, painted, polished, or otherwise delicate exterior surfaces.

Instead of placing the item directly onto a hard bench, glass counter, or other permanent work surface, the Softy mat provides a protective layer between the assembly and the bench.

Anti-Static Work Surface

The Miller Softy mat is made from anti-static material and has a listed surface resistivity of 10¹⁰–10¹¹ ohms per square.

For electronics technicians and other users working around static-sensitive components, this provides a more appropriate work surface than an ordinary untreated bench covering.

The mat meets DOD-STD-1686 for anti-static material, according to the manufacturer specifications provided on the Micro-Tools listing.

Makes Tiny Parts Easier to Handle

The soft surface can depress under small components, helping provide access for tweezers and other precision tools.

On a completely hard, flat surface, getting a tool underneath a tiny part can sometimes be frustrating. The slight give of the Softy material can make it easier to grip and manipulate small components during assembly and repair.

This simple characteristic can make a noticeable difference during repetitive precision work.

Non-Slip Backing

A work mat isn't very useful if it slides around the bench.

The Softy mat features a non-slip backing that remains stable even on smooth glass surfaces.

That helps keep your work area in place while you're handling components, using precision tools, or repositioning an assembly.

Protect Your Workbench

The 11" x 14" mat also provides a convenient protective layer over your permanent work surface.

Use it to help prevent delicate assemblies from coming into direct contact with:

• Hard benchtops
• Glass counters
• Finished work surfaces
• Assembly tables
• Repair benches

Its compact 11" x 14" size provides a useful dedicated work area without taking over the entire bench.

Clean with Soap & Water

Although the Softy mat is inexpensive enough to be treated as a disposable work surface, it doesn't necessarily have to be discarded after every use.

The manufacturer states that the material can be cleaned with soap and water without affecting its anti-static quality.

That makes it practical for repeated use when the mat remains in suitable condition.

White Surface for Precision Work

The white work surface provides a simple, clean background that can be particularly useful when handling small components.

Tiny dark-colored screws, springs, washers, clips, and electronic parts can be easier to locate against a light background than on a cluttered or dark-colored workbench.

Combined with the cushioned surface, this makes the mat especially well suited to detailed repair and assembly work.

Compact 11" x 14" Size

At 11" x 14", the mat provides enough room for many small repair and assembly jobs while remaining compact enough for crowded workbenches.

It's a practical size for:

• Individual repair stations
• Electronics benches
• Camera repair benches
• Watchmaker benches
• Hobby workspaces
• Field service kits
• Training stations
• Small assembly areas
