Doug, I am not sure what you mean by pivoting.
We created a table that has the features listed below and include knock-down for flat storage. For a small square table, we used 3/4" plywood for top and legs. The legs were slotted and hollowed, and fit together in a perpendicular slot to slot fashion. A full size table uses the legs for the small square table plus one more long leg. For both the square table and full size table, the table is guided into position by glued-on blocks. We typically don't test 200 lb devices; but I have stood on the table. You might feel more comfortable with 1" plywood. See crude sketch below for a better concept. <<Table sketch.doc>> We place this table on a flush-mount turn-table for the rotational requirements. This table is light weight, easily stored, takes up minimal space in storage, strong, and is built with no metallic parts.
