in the 1970s both myself and twin brother had oxberrys and also made our own wooden discs and would use white wax to rub onto the smoothed wooden holes of our drafting tables that would also help on the open hole Tony.
Well, looks like you basically did my job of giving people a closer look at a 12f animation disc for me. BTW, no disrespect to Chromacolour, but their portable desk sucks, mainly because the base of it is 2 inches thick, making it less comfortable to use with my short chair.
Do you have the diameter of the underside of the animation disc? The part which goes into the disc hole. I'm wondering how much larger the diameter of the hole has to be to for any animation disc to rotate well.
So, getting as close as I can...The desk hole diameter is 16.5 inches. The underside of my disk (the lip that sits and rotates around the hole) is 16 5/16 inches. The outer part of the disk is 17 inches. Here's a post on reddit and he recommends a 16.5 inch desk hole, as well, to work with any animation disk. When i made my own, the hole was uneven and the disk jittered and skipped when i rotate it and drove me crazy. So just make sure your cut in really, really, really precise. www.pinterest.com/pin/doityourself-animation-desk--236790892886500927/ Hope this helps. Good luck! -Tony
