Just got my second MFT 3 and am starting to plan two rolling cabinets for them. My first question is what height should I plan for the MFTs.
Read an a FWW article a few years old that says "Ideal" height for power (heavy muscle) work is between wrist height and elbow height. Ideal height for more careful work is between elbow and mid chest. "Precision" work height is mid chest and above.
Will be using MFT cabinets separately and together for sawing, routing, sanding, clamping/glue up, etc. I think most of what I will be doing falls into the more careful category rather than the power category.
I am 6 1 with elbow height of 42". Has anybody build a cabinet anywhere near this height? Does anybody have other suggestions?
If 42" is correct then I think I will also have to plan for a much, much lower assembly table.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
