Does this board slide as you are cutting or is it heavy enough to stay in place?

I just cut a piece of non-slip shelf liner to fit under the cutting board. Works beautifully.

I have it on top of a wooden Boos butcher block center island and it does not slip at all. It is pretty heavy I dont think it would slip on a counter top.

I don't do lots of cooking and mine gets used on an average of a couple times a week. I have never noticed any slipping and sliding and unlike my room mate who is a professional chef I don't have to put a damp paper towel under my Proteak cutting board to keep it in one place like he has to with his composite light weight board. It's a good size board with some real weight to it so it would take a lot of very vigorous activity to get it to move. I'm sure you'll get some input from others too, but I'd say you don't need to worry about your board sliding with this board you are considering. Happy cooking!

I dare you to cut so hard as to move this board. Seriously. This thing is like the Rock of Gibraltar (but with a soft wood skin to protect your knife edges).

It is rigid.the main board is rigid,the two sides are semi. I work on my puzzles , when I am finished fold it up and slip it under my bed.

Since it has a fine thread screw to tighten it can take a bit of turning but when you get it tight it stays put. We have 2 andone is on our wooden table, for months now, being bumped and pulled on and has never moved. Very sturdy.

Yes, it does slide over time, but it isn't hard to reposition it occasionally.

Yes It stays In place. I have had mine for about a year and the blade still locks in as tightly as when I got it.

I have not noted that it slides any easier than one would expect, but we have a double sink, so the chopping board is not normally on the same sink that the dish drainer runs in to. The spout for this drainer does need to hang out into the sink a little in order to prevent draining onto the counter.

I have never done a slide before so I really can't answer the question. However, this board is a bit heavier than my friend's 44 inch atom board tho. I guess if you change the wheels to wheels that you know can slide, then do so. Sorry If this doesn't help

It takes less than 4 pounds to move my slide. That is with an electronic kitchen scale. If the clamp is fully released there really is not much that could cause the slide to be difficult to move if the outboard end is not dragging on the table. The slide is restrained within the "V" section of the side and the plastic "L" shape on the bottom. I don't see an adjustment in the guides.

It slides somehow. Not quickly, so it's not slippery. But it shifts nonetheless.

It stays pretty much in place, there is a slight amount of slide, not like the one i had before,it was all over the place. I am quite pleased with this mat.

It does have a bit of a texture on the board but nothing distinct enough to keep it from moving. Just keep your fingers light and your wrist up so there is not so much weight pressing down and it should glide as smoothly as needed.

It does feel rough when you are just sliding back and forth but not when cutting. The problem I have is the guard linkage binding up when you first start to lower the saw

It's a little stiff at first. Then it gets easier as you do it a few times. I recommend the anti slip pad for under neath so it doesn't slide.

I have hardwood floors and it slides a little but is pretty heavy. You get used to stepping on it.

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

yes, the sliding mechanism is very smooth and can take quite a bit of weight.

It is not a rigid board. It is firm enough for my use. I bring it out to work on my puzzle then close it all up when I need to put it away ( to use the dining room table for meals)
