Yes, I know the entire "bottom lever" of the jack is referred to as the tender. I'm just talking about the little bump on the end - the part that actually engages the letoff. Ron Overs' jack design obviates the problem by designing the geometry so that the part of the tender engaging the letoff felt "rocks across" it, with zero rubbing (hence zero wear). And I think there is considerable wear as well as compression - true of wipp heels as well - since the arcs are unequal. You can "re-fluff" to an extent, but the felt needs to be replaced eventually.
