Wear plate for work implement

A wear assembly for a work implement of a work machine, the wear assembly comprising:

• a mounting plate adapted to be coupled with a base of the work implement, wherein the mounting plate extends along a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, and a vertical axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the mounting plate defines a pair of opposing surfaces and a first cut-out extending between the pair of opposing surfaces of the mounting plate;
• and
• a wear plate removably coupled with the mounting plate, the wear plate including:
• a body extending along the longitudinal axis, the lateral axis, and the vertical axis, wherein the body defines an engagement surface that faces the mounting plate of the work implement, an operational surface opposite the engagement surface, and a second cut-out extending from the engagement surface to the operational surface;
• and
• at least two projections extending outwards from the engagement surface along the vertical axis, wherein each of the at least two projections is received within the mounting plate to removably couple the wear plate with the mounting plate, such that the at least two projections are isolated from the operational surface of the wear plate.
