Shapeoko 5 Pro Top Measurement

[GeorgeMM (George)]

It would be greatly appreciated if someone with a Shapeoko 5 Pro could pull out a ruler and measure the distance from the top of the table your CNC Machine sits on, to the top of the side rail(s) NOT including the cable assembly/tracks.

From a query in August I was told it was 4 inches, but I would like confirmation before I build my CNC workbench. The space to the left of the soon-to-be Black Friday Shapeoko 5 Pro is my router table, and i need to make the height of the new workbench such that wood going to my router will be able to pass OVER the CNC Machine when I am using the router table.

Thank you if you take the time to give me an exact measurement. -George

Mine measures 4-7/8”.

Measuring mine at the plastic cap at the front it’s about 5" — I’d pad that out a bit to keep stock from scraping across the tops of things.

Thank you guys … it seems the 4 inch number I was previously given was incorrect! I will now design/make the workbench 2 inches lower. I am VERY THANKFUL that I found this out before I built the workbench next week and wound up with a clearance disaster!
