would you have any idea on ebony star formica? read on the siderealtech site that it was used as a clutch.

I have no idea how suitable these would be Alistair.
Someone, hopefully, will chime in who has experience with this.
I am curious however to find out how paper goes as Bojan has suggested.
Next strip down I might try this. Paper possibly could provide the same
slip/grip characteristics as the cork but enable the worm gear to
move even less sideways microscopically, as it surely does in my setup.
Lokking forward to see what you come up with Alistair
