Designing
for Machining Features
The ice cleat has a requirement for two features
that have to be machined.
These features are --
- A shouldered hole in the center body through which the
mounting bolt passes. There is sufficient stock in the body for the hole. No
design features have to be changed in the casting.
- Three flat studs on the back face which act as locating pads
for the ice cleat in the track shoe.

To
provide enough metal stock for final machining of the flat studs, bosses are added to the
design. These bosses are approximately 3/8" thick. |
