Make a Rotating Table "Lazy Susan"

What is up guys, In this instructable I am going to make a really simple rotating table also known as lazy susan mainly used for product shooting and showcase. I hope you enjoy it.

So, for this project you are gonna need a large piece of MDF plate, a smaller chunk of wood and a 12V high torque DC motor.

PARTS:

- 12V High Torque Motor: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/fQzrvfY

Also the MDF plate I am gonna use could be thinned down to 4 mm which will work just ok.

I firstly mark a center of a smaller chunk and drill a 30 mm hole on a stationary drill press with leaving a 6mm hole in the middle for wires of the motor.

After that I use a table router to chamfer the edges on one side and paint the chunk with light brown color.

Next thing is to cut a circle out of our MDF plate. I firstly locate the center and drill a small 3mm hole in the middle.

Then with help of a nail and a wire I mark a perfectly round circle and cut it our with a jig saw.

With vibrating sander I smooth the edges and try to make them again as round as possible.

After drilling a bit bigger hole for the screw I used an acrylic white paint to covre the whole surface of our rotary table.

While waiting for paint to dry I instal our motor into the wooden chunk and secure it with two small screws.

If you dont have them just take apart some of your old electronic devices and I am sure you will find lots of them suitable for this job.

Now, just simply screw on the board and tighten it with a hex key.

For the power source I use my 3-12V power regulator and the last thing to do was to cover the middle hole with a white round sticker and there we have it guys.

With the combination of perfect lighting and camera angle you can achieve very professional results.
