{"product_id":"manual-turntable-base-300mm","title":"Manual Turntable Base 300mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bearing plate that spins freely by hand, for a workshop, a photographer or anybody who needs to see all sides of something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plinth is a simple object and almost every cheap one gets the same three things wrong. The panel is too thin, so the top deflects under a bronze and you can see it from across the room. The corners are mitred and glued rather than lock jointed, so they open after one move and the paint cracks at the arris. And there is no ballast, so a tall plinth with a light object on it can be knocked over by somebody walking past with a coat. Ours are 18mm on a braced internal frame, lock jointed at every corner, and ballasted at the base on anything over 900mm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: see the product name for the diameter, 45mm to 90mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay surface: sprayed top, or a removable acrylic top on the photography version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: steel bearing or thrust race in a sprayed housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: gallery white or matt black, chosen at order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: 100kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevelling: three levelling feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity: not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery: one carton, assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 2.2 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearing: sealed ball race, which is why it does not judder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed: free running, by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent, there is no motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSits under an acrylic cover or inside one of our vitrines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe turntable, assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree levelling feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelt pads and a spare set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA care note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetting it up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArrives assembled and blanket wrapped.

The top of a plinth should be a little smaller than the footprint of the object, not larger, because a visible margin of empty plinth reads as a mistake and an object that slightly overhangs reads as deliberate. And the height should put the centre of the work between 1300 and 1500mm off the floor, which is eye level for most people standing at a comfortable viewing distance. For a small object that means a tall plinth, which people resist and should not. If in doubt, send us the dimensions and weight of the piece and we will tell you the size we would use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plinth Studio","offers":[{"title":"Gallery white","offer_id":58785495056716,"sku":"PLS-TRN-001-WH","price":94.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matt black","offer_id":58785495089484,"sku":"PLS-TRN-001-BK","price":94.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/8300\/9100\/files\/Manual_Turntable_Base_300mm.jpg?v=1789126076","url":"https:\/\/plinthstudiostore.com\/products\/manual-turntable-base-300mm","provider":"Plinth Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
