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.


ahhh.. that could work, like it.the pressure on the wood is quite high, so
might ripple, will give it a go.
