Seriously, why do you want the pockets at all? It's not as if you have a strict weight limit here. If you really want to cut weight, then just make it out of 1/8" and don't pocket.

We decided to pocket for two reasons. First, to act as windows into the shooting track so that we can better see what is going on. The whole purpose of this build is to learn as much as we can about shooters and having everything as open as possible helps with that. Second, to get practice in pocketing in case we need to use it during build season. Just having your guys critique the pocketing job went a long way towards us understanding it, so thanks

Have you used baseline dimension before in Solidworks?

I hadn't heard of it until it was mentioned here but, yes, it looks like it would be perfect for this piece.

...For example, the 6.198 dimension is extremely hard to measure...

The 6.198 in particular defines where the CIM pulley mounts in relation to the Wheel pulley. I was going for a c-c belt run so I thought that high precision would be needed.

You should write the material down at the bottom. Most likely 6061 T6, but it's good form to put it in.

Doh! Thanks. We had discussed that we were going to use whatever the shop had on hand (6061 in this case) but it is better practice to type that specifically.
