Need to know how to get the right height for my new cutting table. He didnt explain how to deturmen that, just how to fix what you have.
Hello Phyllis,
The correct height for your table can be determined based on your height. You will want your table to be tall enough that you can stand and work at it comfortably without having to bend over at the waist at all. A good height for this is right around your navel. If you measure from there to the floor that should give you a good idea of how high of a table you should look for.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
