Dimensions of Jet 1640 ways

[Adam Wager]

Does anybody know the measurements of the Jet 1640EVS ways - specifically the size of the gap (I think it is 1 3/4" but not sure) and the thickness of the ways (I think 5/8" but again not sure)? I have looked at various product specs but couldn't find anything definitive. Thanks in advance.

You can download the manual from the Jet site.

In the specs there, it shows the bed gap of 1-3/4. I didn't find the thickness in a quick scan so I measured on my 1840, which uses the same bed, and confirmed 5/8"
