The tuners I purchased are made to work with a peghead thickness between 7/16in and 3/4in. I decided to finalize my peghead thickness at 5/8in. I ran the peghead through the bandsaw to take off about 1/8in from the back side. I then sanded everything smooth. Below is a photo of a tuner along side the peghead. Four tuners will be installed through holes drilled in the peghead.

I have been doing some of my sanding with my belt sander clamped to a board. Using a shim I adjusted the belt sander so it is 90 degrees to the board. Below is a picture sanding the top of the peghead earlier in the construction process.
