So I am getting ready to balance my monitor.  I just wanted to verify that a magnet won't affect an LCD monitor right?

Thanks...

From my understanding, magnets do not affect LCD screens.  This is not true for CRTs.

So I am starting over too.  The lazy suzan idea would be great for a manual rotation.  But too much friction for a motor.  So I bought some bearings and I am going to follow csa3d's design this weekend.  Wish me luck....

So, NO lazy susans. Skate bearings, most likely. Wheel bearings, yet another option..

Anyway, good luck with the project! Hope the skate bearings work !

If I was doing it over again Southpaw, I'd consider a thicker piece of wood then 3/4" thickness, and use a longer bolt.  The extra length of the rod (I think) will help minimize tilting of the spinning disk due to a small fulcrum.


Do document, and good luck!
