Hi Frogtwat
Yes the pads replace the roller bearing setup.
I haven't done the milk washer trick but you only need enough to take the weight of the base.
I presume you have the 3 toed bottom base plate .
I replaced mine with a 30mm thick round plate.If you use the 3 feet supplied on the triangle base it's not stable.
Using teflon pads you will need another sliding surface underneath the top baseplate. I am using a 60 point laminate at the moment but find it too sticky at times . It's smooth while in motion but stop start is too jerky.(I'm a fussy .......) I'm waiting on a piece of 50 point laminate (like ebony star).
