Lazy Susan

[Mike Davis]

I bought a mechanism to use as a lazy susan for a wide cookie I cut. It rattled so much as it rotated I never used it. A friend suggested it might be very useful when family is gathered around the dinner table and the conversation turns to politics. " Anyone want more gravy" and rotate the server.

A little white lithium grease may help.

Thanks a lot for posting this. I ordered and you are right - very smooth & quiet.

Just to add to this comment this turntable is not 4". It is 3 5/8" (94mm). Quite a difference and since I was replacing a true 4" I was concerned about the previous holes showing but this one was just big enough to cover them. Also, on the Amazon web page it appears they come as a 2 pack but it does not. Deceptive advertising. After replacing the old turn table from Rockler (unacceptable) the LS was smooth & quiet.

@mike, I got a photo this past weekend dealing with how to mount the hardware to the wood.

Yep I saw where I would expect screws to go but there were plastic nibs on the underside of every one. The nibs sticking up in your pic I bet has a place for a screw under it. It only works if the plastic nib is in place. Still puzzled.

I had to pull the plastic plugs on one of the rings if I recall
