So the overall base (channels and all) is .615"? Damn thats thick... If you have .125 for the base thickness that leaves the channel at .49" high. Almost 1/2"... That might be a bad thing. You may end up with water stagnating at the bottom of the block and the majority of the flow going from the inlet directly to the outlet on the upper part of the channel.
If your initial test show poor performance you might consider milling 1/16" off at a time and retesting to get the optimal channel hight. I have been finding about 1/4" channel hight to be good on my designs. My
Lumpy Channel block only had 3/16" channel hight and
R-Type only had 1/4" pin hight.
You can see on the testing results they hold their own

Anyway good luck and good job so far.
