How about MDF covered with a good quality laminate? Stiff, square,
cheap, durable, and easily replaced.

UHMW is a particularly bad choice by the manufacturer because as you
note later, if tends to flow. Your existing UHMW glued to a base of MDF
for stiffness might give you the best of both worlds.

I have a General 650. The sacrificial fences that are attached to the
steel fence are really cheapo. (The fence itself is great) I'd like to
replace them, but I can't figure out how to get them off, short of using
a wrecking bar.

Mark, how do your fences come off?
