• a sliding surface for sliding on the surface to be machined;
• at least one elastic component and a sliding component;
• the sliding surface being formed on the sliding component, and the at least one elastic component being arranged on a side of the sliding component opposite the sliding surface;
• wherein the elastic component comprises an elastically deformable material of at least one of a rubber, an elastomer, and a foam;
• wherein the sliding component is formed of a sliding material of polyethylene (PE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyolefin, graphite, polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA);
• and wherein the at least one elastic component is completely enclosed by one of:
