I put a piece of ordinary notebook paper under my tool post to provide a
bit of friction. Seems to work.

It's a thought. I've heard it suggested before, but don't know how well the
paper will stand up when soaked with soluble-oil coolant.

How about a piece of fine grit carborundum paper? Something used for wet
sanding..

I use a bit of yellow legal pad paper on ALL of my lathes. Works very
well with no damage to anything.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
