I need to make a mobile base for my shaper. Any thoughts on how high to make the table top? My googling just shows how to set cutter height. I am 6'2" tall and it is on a wooden box adding about 10 inches to the height. This may be a bit more then ideal. I designed it so the box can have #10 cans inside. This extra height works well under my drill press.

I have a Delta 43-375 on a mobile base and it is 36" to the table top, from the floor. Basically the same height as my table saws. (They all are arranged in a straight line and the second table saw, and shaper, act as an outfield table for the first table saw. My shop is only 9' wide, so my options are limited to putting as many surfaces at the same height as possible.)
I am also 6'2" and this height works good for me. Though my work bench height is 39".
