Re: Turntable vs. Slew Bearing?

What you want is called a "lazy susan" bearing. Slew bearings are generally for large loads, like on a crane, and are very expensive but if you have one, go ahead and use it.

Lazy susans are very inexpensive and better suited to the speeds and loads encountered in FRC.

Why "susan"? I dunno, maybe she is lazier than the other girls....
