what is it called -the white plastic ?

[jkristia]

I remember I once read an article somewhere about a base for a drill press where instead of casters he used some white plastic pads, it looked kind of like the white plastic cutting boards, and apparently this should be some low friction plastic making sliding the drill press around easier.

I would like to use the same for my router table, but of course I cant remember what it it called and I havent been able to google anything useful information. I did find 'polyolefins' from Midwest plastic but I dont think that is what I'm looking for.

Anyone know what I'm talking about, and can help with a name. If the material is the same as the plastic cutting boards, then I assume it would be fine to cut one of those?

Thanks
Jesper
