Lazy Susan Assembly in Pictures

A) Use the smallest holes in the bearing as a template to mark turntable for blind fastening. Drill these holes for self-tapping sheet metal screws.

• For 3", 4", and 6" bearing sizes use #6 screws and drill 5/32" holes
• For 9" and 12" bearings use #8 screws and drill 3/16" holes

B) (Optional) Lubricate bearing balls with oil or grease (depending on freedom of rotating action wanted). This will help with noise reduction.

C) Mount bearing on base with wood screws of satisfactory length.

D) Attach turntable to mounted bearing with self-tapping screws.

A) Lay the bearing on the turntable and mark location of holes through the large access holes.

C) Remove the bearing to prevent contamination from sawdust and predrill all holes. Drill the access holes in your base plate.

D) Assemble bearing to base plate.

E) Assemble screws though the access holes to the turntable plate.
