My custom built turntable only has 3 parts....The rotary plate, the bearing carrier from a vehicle and the base. I turned the plate from 1 inch steel stock, I put indexing scrolls on the surface to center the vise, this has worked out well. The finger detentes around the edge idea was copied from a European design.....It turned out to be a bunch of little chip traps....Don't think I would do that again...The bearing carrier can be picked up free at body shops as take offs.....
So, with a little work you can get into a very nice turntable for next to nothing.....one thing the grease in the bearings needs to be washed out and 10 weight oil used for free turning......
Hope you like it Bob
