Title: Suggestion
Post by: Byron on March 15, 2005, 06:56:01 PM
I don't know about you, but lifting that monster and rotating it to use "the other side" is tough.  I keep spilling the water! ;D  I came up with an idea that has not been tested yet but I will post the results when I have finished it.  Here's the idea.  I took two pieces of 1/2" melamine about 13" square.  I will sandwich a "lazy susan" roller bearing assembly between them.  I will drill a hole the top board at opposing corners.  The lower board will be drilled at the same point in just one corner.  I will use a pin to stop movement while in use.  If I need to rotate the machine, I will remove the pin, rotate it 180 degrees and re-insert the pin.  I am waiting for the "lazy susan" to finish the effort.  I do not know how stable the results will be.  If it's stable enough great, if not, oh well I tried.

Sounds like a good idea.
Let us know if it works.
