Platter wobble - too much?


Hi everyone,

Just working on getting my new turntable dialed in, and the platter seems to wobble far more than my previous table.  I noticed the wobble with the naked eye from across the room.  I've already tried a new sub-platter to see if the first one perhaps had a bent spindle or machining defect.  I only have one other table to compare it to, so I don't know if this type of variation from flat is normal.  Here are a few videos:

Does this seem like a reasonable tolerance, or am I going to do some damage to the cart/bearing/records?  I appreciate any thoughts y'all might have.

Best, Scott

Smrex, good on you that you've handled the issue properly and good on the company for doing the right thing.
To the OP
You have unanimous consensus of opinion among responses which almost never happens on this forum.
Visible wobble is never acceptable. 
It is not your job to diagnose or fix it unless you've truly made an error in assembly.
You ought to return the entire package and ask for refund.
The longer you wait, the more you worsen your chances for good outcome .
