How do you attach a Lazy Susan turntable bearing?

Drill a big hole in the table (usually the bottom piece) so you can “see” the screw holes in the other side (the top) when the bearing is rotated around. Next, mount the bearing on the “big hole side” of the table (the bottom) with that big hole lined up with the hole you drilled in the wood.

Thereof, what size Lazy Susan Bearing do I need?

A Lazy Susan 16" in diameter will require about 2.3 board feet of lumber, 1.8 board feet for the top and 0.5 board feet for the base. The dimensions of the blanks are for the top, 16" x 16" x 1" and for the base, 8" x 8" x 1". The base is generally about half the diameter of the top to provide stability.

Additionally, can you install a lazy susan in an existing cabinet? When homeowners want to add a lazy susan to existing cabinets, it's awkward because the cabinet opening is small and you're either scrunched up on the floor for a base cabinet or standing on a ladder to reach inside a wall cabinet. Alternatively there are lazy susan trays that install on each shelf.
