    Yep same center height as mine, 200 series will be the go for you. Link seems to work for me too?

    The only thing is making sure the T slot if yours has a T slot to mount the tool post isn't jacked up by the central screwed pin that locates the toolpost. The pin is usually longer than needed for the T slot in the cross slide, and if you keep tightening it down you can drive the threaded pin into the base of the T slot and using the toolpost T nut as a jack ripping the sides of the T slot out! Not ideal...

    The solution is shorten the bottom threaded section of the center pin so that the threads stop turning in the T nut before it bottoms out on the slot.
