If I were to use this for building a table-top prize wheel, do you think it would spin adequately/smoothly? Is there anything else you would suggest?

They claim it can hold up to 200 lbs weight. However, it has a very small base of only 3". Now much depends on the the circular base that you would construct to sit of this lazy susan. If this base is made of a sturdy material, then your table-top prize wheel will not wobble. If it is a bit delicate, I suggest you attach some 3 or 4 free rotating wheels under this base (towards its edge) to prevent the wobble. Keep in mind that the Lazy Susan (very short height) will have to be raised, to match the height of the rotating wheels.

I guess it depends on the weight of the prize wheel. The bearing is rather small and has a considerable amount of drag to it, so if the prize wheel has some weight and is about 12 inches in diameter, it will spin for at least 4-6 revolutions (assuming that the bearing is up/down vs. horizontal), which might be all you need. You don't want it to spin forever if it is a game.

Yes I do. I used this for my son's spinning board (AKA astronaut board). He weighs 38 lbs and as long as he's centered on it correctly it spins perfect. The board is long to accommodate his length as he has to lay down for this activity and that is why it gets off balance sometimes. If your top is the same size as the base you shouldn't experience this problem. Good Luck.

I use Orangtang wheels and thwy ride really smooth. Theres diffrent tupes of wheels depending on what you want them for. Overal they're fantastic long lasting wheels.

Will it spin it, yes. Will you be happy with it, likely not. It needs that much air to spin at the right speed and have the power to operate.

Yes, this is a heavy duty machine. I use it in my woodshop and it is more machine than I need. It could handle a bigger wheel with no problem.

It's use on a table top is very practical when a couple of factors are considered. Its position and alignment are important. When it is level to the chest and shoulder area it allows for an even rotation in the pedal movement, thus no wobbling. Another consideration is the surface area used. Some table tops might require a rubberized mesh mat for stability, such as the ones used for tools or drawer linings. Good luck and happy peddling!

I'm not sure how great this would be as a dedicated cart. A lot depends on how much weight you're hoping to carry and the surface it'll be on. When I've got one fully loaded with comic short boxes, I can move it around a bit, to swing it out of the way or shimmy it aside. But the wheels will get hung up easily on small lips or seams in the floor. Also, when it's fully loaded, it doesn't necessarily feel sturdy and rigid enough to haul things around. It feels like if you're not careful, it can tip relatively easily. Something with larger casters that swivel more easily and a sturdier frame might be a better bet.

It would probably hold up pretty well. I use it for ab work too although I haven't used the ab wheel on it. It holds up well unless something pointed, like a bicycle cleat, punctures it :-) Merry Christmas!

Well, to be honest I do not know if the stiga would be better than the killer spin. When I first bought the killer spin I did not think it was going to be as good as I thought it would. however I was surprised of how much speed and spin it has. Another thing is that stiga in my point of view is more known brand, but again you're buying it ready to go so it is kind of a bargain for the price...it could be really good or so so. I don't know your level of table tennis but I think the killer spin it's a excellent start for beginners and intermediate levels. And the price is not bad.

don,t waist your hard earned money on that piece of JUNK!!!!!!! and it has no wheels. hope this helped!

It's pretty sturdy, it's low profile, so completely flat as it spins. If it needs to be able to rotate, this is an excellent option.

It's pretty good at turning but the bushings are really soft so if you want to it to be tighter for speed runs, go out and get some harder ones. That said, the board is great, rides like a dream and is great for cruising around and having a good ride. Also, the wheels are pretty good for slides if your into that.

There should be a pin with a screw end to it that goes through the wheel and the base, and then a fastener to attach it to keep it stable when it spins. If not, you'll need to go to a hardware store to buy such. Very simple really.

This cart is one of my best investments as a mobile DJ. The larger wheels roll over most terrain with ease. I'm not sure about "all terrain" but i've used it on grass, gravel, and uneven pavement. If you are expecting harsher terrain, it may not perform as well.

Yes, it is definitely an affordable spin. I have mine for a year-and I believe I like it as well as the ones I use in the gym. Go for it!!

It is sturdy and it spins well.No issues. It is a good alternative to the more expensive models. I have mine on my desk.

It spins easily, but it is very light. I think the only really sturdy globe would be a floor model. You do need it take care when using this globe.

That won't work. Just a little bit of pressure and the wheel greatly slows down. It's definitely not a strong enough motor to handle a cake. I'm actually a pastry chef, so I have just the right experience to answer your question! I would stick to a hand turned cake stand.
