RE: Why turntable bearing shaft and spindle machined as one piece?

John, Yes, the bearing shaft/spindle is bolted directly to the plinth, and the ball bearing is press-fitted into the end of the shaft, where the platter then goes over it. The shaft and bearing are stationary. Harry made a special oil-pumping feature for me in the platter for the inverted bearing. The entire operation is very quiet with black background. The platter is controlled by rim-drive off the HRX double motor and sounds great with the 3D arm and Lyra Titan-i cartridge. I also use the Phoenix Engineering Eagle and RoadRunner.
