Teflon and formica bearings. The bottom of the rockerbox is covered with a pebble grain Formica that rides on the Teflon bearings on the groundboard. Formica is a brand name that has come to mean any plastic counter top laminate. You see telescope makers refer to using Ebony Star Formica. Ebony Star is a style of Wilson Art laminate (not Formica), and while it has a great sounding name, it is simply a glossy pebble grain laminate that allows smooth movement on the Teflon. Any similarly textured laminate would do just fine. Ebony Star is available from your local Wilson Art dealer, probably your local lumber or hardware stores.
