There is no one size fits all of where to position the Spindle in your mount on your Z-Axis and several considerations need to be taken into consideration.
Considerations include:
- Length of your longest / shortest bit
- Height of your normally tallest stock
- Desire to cut through with your shortest bit
- Reach of any sort of tool setter
- Overall clearance of the Z Plate
A typical rule of thumb is install the shortest bit and bring your z down to the lowest position and tighten your mount down. Then install your tallest bit, and jog your Z all the way up, and compare that to the position of your bottom Z plate / your tallest anticipated stock.
Because of the numerous variables with wasteboard height, Z travel, bit length, stock thickness we can't say "this is where you should put it." Being a cylindrical body, you can place it at any height but would not recommend at either extreme of the top/bottom.
