Re: Turrets

There are several sources for a "lazy susan" bearing. You can get them in various diameters up to 12 or 15 inches and they are only about 1/4" high. I bought several at work (I think from McMaster) sandwiched between two pieces of plywood with a pipe flange on one. This makes an excellent cable reel holder when pulling cables. I know they are made to hold up to several hundred pounds. Check the specs when you order one.
