Re: pic: Wheel Block Concept

It seems to me if you can mill this out, a normal WCD in 2x1 wouldn't be a problem at all. What's the reasoning behind this design rather than a regular bearing block and clamping plates?

edit: Sorry, just read read the second part of Adam's post asking this as well.

This may just be me, but I tend to get really cautious about milling tensioning slots for bolts to slide along in something that experiences a lot of load. How tight would this be clamping onto the frame?
