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

I would show this to the sponsor and have them give you feedback personally. That would probably be the easiest way to ensure that it's easy for them and you.
If you have a local community college, it would be a good step to see if any students can take machining courses there. Not only does it teach students about metalworking (and designing with machinability in mind), but the team also might get access to the machines there.
