I have a PLAN!

Fear of tipping? Are you guys thinking 100's of RPM? I'm lucky if I hit 20 RPM.

Not from spinning, just in general. Gotta keep the platform low.

You tell em!

I imagine a google search likely brought up an image like this.

You might try a cordless drill with a rubber wheel to spin the outside diameter of the disk. I think in my shop I have some sanding attachments that use replaceable tube shaped sand paper. The mandrel is what I was thinking could be used to spin the Susan.

I searched for "heavy duty lazy Susan." I'm looking at something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Fasmov-12-inch-Turntable-Bearings-Rubber/dp/B078W6NTJR. According to the ad, it can support up to 300 lbs. I like that it is 12" in diameter, about the same as a 5-gal carboy. That would make it very stable. Useful in case @BigDaveK wants to spin it at 100s of RPMs

Okay, I'll go there....What would spinning wine in a sealed container at 100's or 1000's of RPM do?
Curious, so then I found this -

That looks VERY useful. It's designed for things to be mounted on top, so cutting a piece of plywood to provide a larger base for carboys is a good idea.

Something to consider, beyond sur lie and bâtonnage: When clearing wine, it's recommended to give the carboy a sharp rotational jerk every day for a couple of days to dislodge material clinging to the sides. A lazy susan helps with that as well,.

By all means, whatever you are comfortable with, but it is WAY overkill. Mine is very stable on 2.5 inch. It is more the size of your bottom plate than the size of the ring. they have no flex in them.
