TamBee 10 Inch Lazy Susan Bearing Base - 150lb Capacity Aluminum Heavy Duty Lazy Susan Turntable Mechanism Kit for Smooth Rotation, Universal Hardware for DIY Furniture, Table (Base Only)

I was very pleasantly surprised at the extreme high-quality of this Lazy Susan. I was expecting flimsy and cheap and this thing is robust, solid, and very aesthetically pleasing. It can be screwed down or it has gripper feet, which work surprisingly well. It spins smoothly, but not quickly so the spinning does not get out of control. I’ve already ordered a second one.

Although I'm not the first to use a lazy susan for a telescope base, I've not heard of one on a scope as large as the one I'm building (20" mirror). It is serving as the 'ground board' to hold the telescope structure off the ground and allow the scope to be rotated with little effort. I was attracted to this particular product because of it's price here (industrial grade turntables are crazy expensive) and weight capacity, with my need for something that could easily handle the weight of my heavy mirror and scope structure - about 140 pounds when in use. I had to modify a little to add some legs to raise the turntable off the ground and attach the turntable to my telescope frame - and was happy to find some threaded holes on both rings that made that easier. So far, it is holding the weight well and its solid construction is working well with my motor drives. I'm quite impressed with the quality and happy with the results for my installation. EDIT (11/21/2025): After a few years of use, I'm still happy overall with the performance of this turntable and my telescope. However there is one drawback to note, and that is the bearings are not "sealed", and thus inevitably dust will find its way into the bearing raceway. Even out of the box the movement was not smooth "like butter", but still decent and acceptable for this application. It seemed to get a little rougher over time, but still not bad. I recently took it off the telescope base to clean with air and apply some lubricant. I could not dissamble the turntable to inspect, so just did my best. It improved movement a little. I suspect the fact there are dozens of ball bearings, perhaps not all perfectly round, coming into contact with multiple surfaces while being moved all adds a little more "stiction" than ideal for silky smooth movement.

Rollers are smooth and quiet, the construction felt high quality. I am very happy with the lazy Susan.

Great design. Love the low profile. Works great. Once installed it is a bit tight and needed to be exercised. I also used some 3-1 oil to make it rotate easier. Bought two more for my projects.

Worked great for my needs

They mean what they say, this is heavy duty and doesn't need any additional support, even though the wood was heavy. Very stable, 12" makes a decent 14" lazy Susan. Doesn't drag. Good product

Very good quality, spins smoothly with very little noise, would recommend!

Update: After installing this on the bottom of a lazy susan it initially turned great. But after some time it started to "jam", requiring a short turn in the opposite direction to free up. This makes the build much less useful. I suspect it's the bearings in an aluminum chase eventually wearing nonuniformly. Now I'm not sure exactly what to do to fix this. A very nice heavy duty (within reason) bearing for lazy susan, rotating shelves, or flexible worktables, etc. These are not cheap bearing rails, but solid aluminum with enough bearings and move very smoothly. I'm using it for a large lazy susan and even with heavy dishes on one side it turns very smoothly without rubbing or any resistance. I pulled some of the pads off the inside, drilled the holes through and countersunk for more attach points. No problems even with the mod.

well built, used it for a base for a 55" Samsung TV

Was looking around for options on making admittedly a rather niche device to allow the front wheel of my bicycle to move side to side while on an indoor trainer called a ‘rocker plate’. Trying to get as much of the outdoor riding feel in my indoor set up. Anyhow lazy susan arrived and I start seeing how it could be used with straight forward and simple mods. Short story is so far it was easy to fasten to a small piece of plywood while still rotating nicely. Smooth enough movement. Will update if any failures occur. So far a great purchase.

value for money

Perfect for my dining table & takes all the weight & rotates smoothly

For art work - to turn canvases. Did what it was supposed to do
