HF lathe question

[Band Saw Box]

I have a question for anyone who has the HF 10"x 18" 5 speed lathe. Could you please tell me what the distance is between the base of the lathe and the center of the head stock MT. I'm working on my lathe stand and have the base built. I need to know how thick I need to make tbe top. Thanks for the help.

Dan, the height from table top surface to Headstock center is 12 and 5/8 inches.
Top of the bed to center is 5 inches..... and the table top surface to top of bed is 7 and 5/8 inches.

Hope this helps.
