Hello Mike,
You have 153mm under gantry.
Also you need some type of sacrificial surface 18mm?
Let's say maximum of 50mm of tool stickout length, and 20 mm safe distance to avoid hitting clamps.
Doesn't leave much thickness for a workpiece.
Maybe only 50 mm or so.
Will you ever need a vise to clamp a workpiece?
Top of my big vise is +/- 100mm high.
I wasn't sure about all this and arranged for 210 mm free space between table frame to top z position.
Hope this helps to narrow down the choices you have to make.
Grtz Bert.
