Circular runners
« on: 27 May, 2008, 04:21:24 pm »
Am trying to find a source of circular type runners to affix to the bottom of a unit that will enable it to be mounted on a base and spun around freely.

My Screwfix catelogue has yielded no match, and a few minutes Googling has given my numerous sites on carpets and running tracks... Any idea if there's a 'proper' name for such things? Any idea of where one might look?

Ta.

Thrust bearings?  Possibly a bit too 'industrial' for you though - maybe you need to butcher a swivelling TV stand.

By Jingo, that's the chappie I want. Needed to be pretty heavy duty too, so they look the ticket. I wonder what else in the house I can swivelficate?

Resist the temptation of standing on one with one foot and spinning yourself.
It'll end in tears. :-[
