following my turntable creation, the spindle on the motor is
slipping pressed against the timber
what couldI wrap/stick on the spindle to create better adhesion that
will not wear off?

some form of rubber I thought?
TIA


What diameter is it? Would one of those rubber caps intended for the
end of walking sticks fit?



its approx 12mm diameter with a key slot in it.
I'm running agains the shaft approx 30mm from the end to ensure it
does'nt run off.


In that case, a walking-stick rubber would probably be too big in diameter,
and not long enough.

I wonder whether you might be better off attaching the rubber - maybe rubber
strips stapled on - to the edge of the wooden turntable rather than to the
shaft.
