BlairR,

I may be missing a few appends to your posting, but I still do not have a
picture of what you are trying to do.

You want to spin by hand, not turn, a 24" diameter, 4" thick MDF turntable
located on your workbench. And you want it to spin this turntable with
something unknown on it, at some unknown rpm for some unknown period
of time.

Although I've seen a number of solutions offered, I submit to you that if
you
describe in some detail what you are trying to accomplish with your
turntable,

I want to spin a heavy turntable 24" across. I want it to spin easily and
for as long as possible while supporting about 100 pounds.

Do you want to do this because spinning a heavy turntable 24" across
supporting 100 pounds gives you a woody, or is there some higher purpose to
it? In other words is spinning the turntable your ultimate goal or is the
turntable a means to an end? If it's a means to an end perhaps if you
described that end you might get more useful advice.

Replace the wheel and tire on a utility trailer, or a car or truck with a
heavy table the same size as the tire turn it on edge so it is horizontal
and give it the ability to sit in or on a work bench and it would work
great.

I can get the hub, and the bearing.
But getting the part the bearing sits in and fastening that to a work
bench is beyond my ability and rather costly.
I was hoping there was a product out there that would do this.
I can find all kinds of shafts and bearings to spin a vertical disk like
grinding stones but nothing that will support a horizontal disk.
