On the Stuart beam engine how deep does the recess on the top of the column need to be to take the entablature arms.

Drawing I have shows the top of the entablature as 2.125" wide and the width between the recesses as 2" so that would make the cuts 1/16" each side.

Running a caliper across the top of mine, it looks as if my column top is 2.111" across, with 55-56 thou recesses to achieve the 2.00" arm gap. I'd think it's the 2.00" across the recess bottoms – with equal depth recesses – that you need to attend to, or several other dimensions'll be thrown out. But the thin flanges above and below the recesses only fit fresh air, so the height of those is not very significant.
