How thick should a slotted headstock for a steelstring be?

Thicker that a non-slotted?

Thanks in advance folks...

depends on the tuners you use, plus what kind of treatment you want to do on the edges, ie. how much of a chamfer .... most slot head tuners need at least .750 ... I use .800 ...

Depends on the tuner plate.
