By using several of the pyramids we have used it to easily support an average-size door. We simply placed the middle of the door on the turntable, finished one side, flipped it over, and finished the rest. Rated for 100 pounds several people have found that it can support even more than that. Thanks! The Finishing Turntable can support over-sized projects.

Since I spray all my finishes, the indexing idea would probably keep things from becoming obscure versions of propeller beanies... By the way, who has a table that weighs 100 #'s that is less than 11.25" square? Now if they’d make a bigger one, I could spray doors and jambs correctly.

I was surprised that the table is rated for so much weight too, but you have to figure (as I think you did), that the workpiece will be supported by at least 3 or 4 pyramids. The pyramids themselves are solidly built, and their tip is slightly blunted. Like you said, if it's something that weighs that much, it's probably on 4 legs. If not, you could use even more than four painter's pyramids, and that distributes the weight even more evenly (think man lying on a bed of nails here). The indexing idea is interesting, although I'm not clear on how that would help on most finishing jobs. But maybe I don't do the right kind of finish projects to appreciate the concept.

I'd be interested to know how they achieved a balance between strength and workpiece safety with the pyramids. I'm guessing they're made out of some plastic hard enough not to lose their tip/height through repeated use - but too fine or too hard of a point could easily mar some furniture. 25 or 33 pounds on the head of a pyramid could sink into or scratch most woods pretty well. but then - who would notice when it's on the bottom of table leg? one thing that would be a great addition is if the turn table was indexed - so you could have an exact spacing, if you were using it to pattern or paint something.
