I also have the no bearing plate problem. I have 3 white smooth squares
stapled to the base but there is still alot of friction. I think the chipboard will
wear quite quickly.

Just make sure that the 'staples' are punched down below the Teflon pads surface. If not, they will scratch the melamine coating & cause probs. later. Should ride on the Teflon only.
Also, don't use any kind of lubricant. (eg; Armourall or the like). Keep the surfaces clean & dry.
If the movement feels a bit stiff/heavy, then try backing off the centre bolt a bit.
If you wanted to make sure the nut doesn't come loose, apply some clear nail varnish to it & thread, before nipping it up. Much cheaper than 'Loctite'.
Should have ~5/10 mm free play between the base board & top plate.
HTH.
