That is more than .005 out in regard to flatness. You wouldn't be able to see .005 very easily at all. FWIW, .002 bearing clearance is huge. The ones I've made have been <.0005 clearance. Never had a problem with oil covering the surface area either. Just saying...
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
