MFT/3 Height

Hello all
I have plans to purchase the MFT/3 soon.
I currently own a 1080 and an 800 that are connected together and mounted on a platform in my shop.
The platform brought the tables up to a more comfortable height for me (34"), as well as matched the height of a rolling tool cart I had. This made it relatively easy to cut 4' X 8' sheets in my garage.
I would like to make some rolling MFT cabinets that will bring these older MFTs up to the new MFT/3 height. The problem is, I don't have all the dimensions for the completed project.
I've read differing MFT/3 heights ( 35 1/2", 35 7/16", 900mm) from different posts. I would really like to hear from someone who owns an MFT/3.
I could probably use shims or whatever if I had to, but with a little help from some of you good people, I could build these cabinets right the first time.

Is there someone out there with an MFT/3 (and a ruler) who could visually check what the exact height really is?

Thanks in advance for any help

Greg,

I measured 35 3/8" on the three non-adjustable legs, which would be about 898.5mm.  There could be some variance from what others will report, due to measuring tapes and operator error, but I think this is pretty close.

Hope this helps,

I really appreciate that input.
As it stands, my old platform is bolted to the floor and fastened to the walll studs in my garage. I have some rolling carts underneath for storage. Sturdy, but not quite as mobile as I would like. It also gets in the way at times.
I put this platform together before all of those great ideas on rolling MFT cabinets were posted. Looking forward, the rolling MFT cabinets will be a great improvement.
The problem is that I'll have to take apart my platform before I can fit these cabinets and the MFT/3 inside my small shop. Having the wrong height would really mess everything up.

Many thanks

Greg
