I was out on some errands today and didn't see this message until recently, but here's what I got as measurements:
Top of the carriage surface to the spindle CL = 4.5"
Top of compound from the top of the carriage surface = 2.78"
Therefore the top of the compound to the spindle CL is 1.72"
Note that these measurements are rounded to the nearest .005" or so. This should get you well within the "ballpark" of what you need to know for this purpose. There are also likely to be some manufacturing tolerance differences over the years as my lathe was manufactured in 2017.
Hope this helps and please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks Jake, I really appreciate it. I can work out from here which one to go with. I am sure once it gets here I may have more questions, but you have documented a lot so hopefully won't have to bother you too much.
