Lazy Susan Hardware Questions

Betsy,
I’ve always used 3/4 but, you might get away with 1/2”.
As to the overhang, there might not be a hard and fast rule. Maybe 50% larger would be acceptable. It all depends on how you intend to use it.
Good ones won’t rack/tip hardly at all. My last one was 36” of solid 3/4 oak on 24” hardware. We use it at the dinner table for main dishes, sides and condiments.

Betsy,
Gene’s thoughts seem good to me. You might send a note to “Degoose” and ask him about his “Lazy Larry’s”
