In keeping with the excessive use of fastners on the base I kept the theme going with the focusser and main support plates.
Makes it look kind of industrial I think.
Aligning the bolt holes for the large lazy susan bearing took a bit of time.
I scribed the centre line on the hexagon, turned 6 long grub screws to a point and turned the whole top cage until all 6 points aligned with the scribed line then hit each grub screw with a hammer to make a centre pop mark.
It works exceedingly well and all the holes lined up.
Its rotational movement is firm but smooth, I couldn't ask for it to be better.
