Hi all im looking for some advice.

I am looking for a round table where the top rotates so an item in the middle can be accessed easily from all sides?

We are looking at a recycling project which will require speed so a table that we could get to all sides by spinning the top would be ideal.

Any ideas if these exist?

If not could you reccommend anything that we could modify an existing round dining table to allow it to rotate? One like this http://www.oakfurnituresolutions.co...m=googlebase&gclid=CN27yfPx6LgCFUbHtAod6D4AfQ

Thanks in advance

A common approach to allow a top surface to rotate is a "Lazy susan" bearing. Not expensive.

or if you wanted a more motorized option you could mount a BBQ rotisserie motor to it. You would have to determine the weight of the table and get a motor that can handle that weight but it would be pretty cool in the end. I also set something up in the past using an old garage door opener and track set side ways. We used that back when I work on motorcycles and needed to spin parts while painting.

rotate just the center

Is that what you mean? Or do you mean the whole table rotates and you have to eat off the other person's plate until it spins back to yours.... :blink: hang on to your fork!
Here's an example of a center rotating table:

Our table is glass with a glass Lazy Susan in the center. Works smooth, and holds plenty of weight.

Norm built one on New Yankee Workshop. Also, Google "table with lazy susan images". Lots of pics.
