Why do we bother with all this?
Simple, you asked for advice from the experienced. Some of us have been doing this for a long time and have been there and done that.
I have lost track of how many Lazy Susans I have pulled off scopes and replaced with teflon and ebony star.
Bearings are fine if you are motorising, the motor acts as a brake, but visually teflon make life easier.
Wait for the first breath of wind with a lazy susan and you will discover why Dobs built that way were dubbed as windvanes!
Lazy Susans also attract dust into the bearings, the edge of the teflon pad acts as a scraper for any dust that can fall "upwards".
