I recently received my Tormek and frankly I am impressed. I was not impressed with having to pick that thing up and rotate it 180 degrees to get the use the leather wheel. I always spilled the water! :mad: I got to thinking about it and I figured I could make a lazy susan to rotate the unit without having to lift it. I just finished the lazy susan table and I am here to tell you "it works!" I took two pieces of 1/2" x 13" x 13" melamine and sandwiched them between a 12" diameter lazy susan roller bearing assembly. I then drilled a hole in a corner all the way through both pieces. I turned the top 180 degrees and drilled yet another hole through the top board. I use the hole to "pin" the top into position. After grinding I remove the pin and rotate the Tormek 180 degrees and re-insert the pin and now the leather wheel is "turning in the right direction" without lifting the darn thing. Thought you might be interested. :rolleyes:
