Thanks Ed - I vaguely recall that thread but forgot about it when posting. My recollection however was that felt was advisable over rubber or plastic.
I was thinking about felt, as that is what my mill has on it and I am planning to put some on my lathe (which doesn't have any). One mod I will be doing to my lathe once I get my mill running is to mill some oil grooves into the carriage ways. I'm thinking about a rubber 'scraper' between the felt and the holder as a means of limiting the ingress of chips.
Oh - McMaster-Carr will ship anywhere if you pay them
