- Another consideration I neglected to mention:
-
- It is also *very* convenient to ensure that the benchtop height
- is less than the height of any nearby stationary machinery tops,
- such as the work surface of a tablesaw. If the benchtop is higher
- than a nearby tablesaw/jointer/bandsaw/drillpress/planer.. then it
- could interfere with stock positioning/feeding for those tools.
-
- Of course, if your shop is *huge*, this is probably not an issue.
