    A lot of the dimensions are subject to your own physical needs
    depending on your height and how you work. In general jewelers
    benches are about 36-38 inches high, and the filings tray needs to
    be low enough so that a saw frame handle doesn't hit it on the
    downstroke. Cut outs are a personal preference as well. The width
    and depth of the top, too. 48x24 is generous, 36x20 is adequate. 

    The best approach is to sit at any commercial benches that are
    available, and you can determine which features you like. If you are
    right handed, drawers on the right might interfere with the flex
    shaft. If you use a micromotor, this wouldn't be an issue.
