Default Router "sled" for flattening bench top - low friction?

Hi, I've found plenty of info on this, but one thing I haven't seen is
anything about how much friction there is sliding the router sled across the
rails. All the jigs I've seen are wood on wood.

Anyone who's used one of these, is the force it takes to push or pull the
router sled across the rails not really a problem?


I use laminate as a slippery surface all the time. Face-to-face it
slides really nice. You can find some in a cabinet shop's bin. Most
guys do a lot of giving this time of year (maybe a 6-pack will help)
and will rip a few strips off for you.
The laminate flooring suggestion is really good too.
