I also have the same tools you just listed and when I get around to it will make my bench at 900 for the out feed and in feed at that height. I am only 5' 10'' or so and never have liked...

The way many would do it is about every 100mm drill a hole through the sheet that will be the bottom piece then on the side that will contact the top piece counter sink the holes you have drilled...

You see a lot of commercial bench tops done that way. I recon as long as you have solid edges and end caps it should be great l

Does any one know the ratio the frame of a workbench should be in relation to the size of the top. I can not remember reading it in The Workbench Book nor have I seen it on any site on workbench...
