I have industrial grade mats in front of my lathe. They are smooth, not ribbed like the Costco mats so they are easy to clean and they are made of rubber, not vinyl so they are durable as heck. I've had the same mats for over 20 years and they still look good. The 2x5 size is good because they are big enough to stand on and small enough to move around when you sweep.
