Does the placement of the swivel mechanism allow for me to drill a hole in the center to fit the patio table unbrella through?

NO! there is a screw right in the middle. Not to mention that it is much too small overall, to accomplish anything once you had a hole drilled in it. Look up "patio lazy susan umbrella" on Amazon and there are ones already made and of a usefule size.

In looking at it I would say no. There is a screw right in the center that holds the bottom swivel plate in place.

I use a swivel from my old seat and no problems lining up the holes. I think the swivels are pretty universal for a seat this size

no . works well . has a nylon ring between the upper and lower plates that are tightly assembled . if was ball bearing would swivel too easily

I didn't drill holes but used the provided clamp. I clamped it onto the end of the table that is against the wall. It worked perfectly. Unhindered. I hope that helps.

Yes, just drill a hole through the lid. There's no provision for locking the rotation, but it hasn't been an issue for me.

In all probability Yes. The table base plate is pre-drilled with several common mounting configurations.

I replaced the base on mine with one that had concentric rings (for about $10 in a part) so that I could use a hole saw to cut a 2" hole in the center, and use the lazy Suzan on a patio table with an umbrella. With that arrangement, it could easily withstand half the weight of a bowling ball on one side! I kept the original roller mechanism, and it should withstand the same load, as it consists of a series of pins as rollers, like a distributed "roller bearing." We love the modification, however, and we got a standard 2" patio table plastic plug, to use the lazy Suzan inside or when the umbrella pole is not needed. I even found the concentric bearing in the local hardware store, for a bit more than I paid on line for the one I used.

The peace under the arm that you twist to make it tight to the table can be on something that is not perfectly flat. However, it should be on something basically flat and in such a way that it will not slide. If it slides then you are in trouble. If it goes on crooked but in such a way that it is not going to move around you should be fine, within limits of course. The under table clamp is 1/2" or maybe a more from the edge of the table. so, if the decorative bevel is not too deep or does not extend too far from the edge of the table it should be find. I suspect you could have a decorative bevel one inch below the bottom of the table that extends one inch of the edge of the table and the arm will work find. No guarantee, but I feel reasonable confident that should not be a problem. If the clamping part hits the bevel but also hits the bottom of the table and will tighten in that position you should also be find. Again, no guarantees but I believe that would also work. Good luck, it's a great arm and very strong. The mounting bracket has several adjustments and in the worse case you can drill a single small hole through the table and put the locking peace directly under the table and it doesn't matter what that hole is. You can mount in in the middle of your desk (bad idea) or off to the side or close to the front, whatever you want, but you have to be willing to drill the hole. Good luck.

I don't have one in front of me, but I think you could.You'd need a self tapping stainless screw, and you'd have to drill a pilot hole, which might be the most difficult part, as stainless is very tough to drill.

Yes, Dis-assemble, center in location and mark your hole. Drill using a good masonry bit and attach with a " Tapcon ...then assemble.

Yes, it will work. I have something similar and because of the bracing under the table I mounted it on the front as close to the end as I could. I only put the opener itself in when using it so it doesn't bother me too much having the mount there permanently. It's not difficult to mount. Being a woman I took the project on and installed it myself. I love having it. No regrets at all

Yes. It has a hole just big enough to put a small key chain in the swivel. I put one on mine. Its all good.
1633906
Yes! The center bottom can be tightened with a small wrench. In the middle of the round area on the bracket there should be a small hole that you can tighten it with.

This has a range of placement. It should work since there are no strict holes just slider areas.

It absolutely is possible. If you have a drill and round saw bits. You can cut a hole in the center of the table, making certain you're cutting through the middle of the support beam underneath as well. To offset the cut would weaken the support beam. Of course your umbrella would need to be weighted under the table so it doesn't catch a wind and fly off. :). Also, the 2x10 option would be the best bet when adding the umbrella. The larger wood offers more support when your cutting a hole in the center.

No. The swivel is like a turn table and there is a clearance and does not scratch the table.

No. But rotating the whole table is good enough for me. :-) (The swiveling stands I've seen tend to be much more expensive.)
