Title: Lazy Suzan - Home Made Turntable
Post by: Segovia123 on May 17, 2023, 10:33:45 AM
Has anyone used lazy susan device for their sharpening station

There are lazy susan's that have a lock every 90 degrees, but I can't find any in the UK

I think the Tormek RB-180 rotating base is a most useful, albeit not inexpensive, accessory. For those wanting to economize, I would recommend an inexpensive, small cafeteria tray. Just rotate the tray. The weight of the Tormek will keep it stable. Cafeteria trays also have lips to contain any spilled water. They are made of all plastic and cannot rust.

yes, but he's in the US, and I am in the UK so didn't bother to ask where he got the turntable from
