UHMW plastics are pretty nifty. You can usually get a kitchen cutting
board made from the stuff. I have used a couple old cutting boards
for several jigs where low friction is a desired aspect of the
design. It is usually that white milky looking stuff. It machines
very well... you can tap threads in it etc...

As far as a plate... you may have a challenge finding a cutting board
in a convenient thickness for your need. Up here in Alaska there are
a couple plastics suppliers that dabble in the UHMW stuff. There is a
lot of it being sold for sleigh/sled runners for hunters and Iditarod
types. Check your yellow pages, you may find a good source for off-
cuts.. not only for your mounting plate needs, but jigs in general.

Best of luck.
