BlairR,

I along with several other folks have asked you for more information is
various ways. Your apparent refusal to discuss your project in terms of
objectives and to provide any meaningful detail suggests that you may be
working on a project you want to patent. There may be another reason, but
it escapes me.

I wish you luck in your search for a solution to your 'problem!'

Jack

If you are working on a patentable activity, you might consider enrolling in
an Effective Communication 101 course at a local school to assist you with
future projects.

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.

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.
