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.
If you want to pay for it, PeachTree Woodworking Supply sells UHMW
pieces. I bought a zero clearance table saw insert last week. Not
sure I like it though.
