Lazy-Susan Style Pivot
My team was looking to connect to pieces of 1" channel in a way that allows one of them to pivot parallel to the other one. The original plan was to use a lazy-susan/turntable but were unable to find one small enough.
Any Suggestions?

Could you provide more details? For instance, I've seen lazy susan hardware in the 3" range.

Re: Lazy-Susan Style Pivot
The Igus slewing rings might do what you want. We picked one up from the First Choice items that is about 4" diameter, if I recall correctly. If you can't find one, send me a PM and we'll see if we can get it to you.

McMaster goes down pretty far in terms of diameter. http://www.mcmaster.com/#turntables/=qit6yb
