Using a Lazy Susan on a BK3 Bandsaw to give a turntable facility

My extensively modified BK3 Bandsaw is squeezed into a tight space on the workbench.
Often I have to move/drag it about to comfortably accommodate the material when cutting.

To make this easier I have just added a Lazy Susan circular ball race to the base of the BK3.
These are normally fitted around the central parasol hole on patio tables but are quite robust and readily available in different diameters from Amazon.

This works a treat and allows easy optimal orientation of the BK3.
I have added updated details to my 'All Things Burgess BK3' write up and this is linked from the blog page.
