Hi Tony, I was expecting some input from you on this. I should have said generate cams and not turn as tool geometry would be not suitable, I was thinking of using live tooling which is what you have done with your mill. Some years ago I made some model engine cams for a friend and still have the 10:1 master template. This was done the old fashioned way on the lathe with a live spindle. Home made cam grinders are many ranging from the basic to the sophisticated and I have found the Model Engineering fraternity a great source of ingenuity. Machining them is the easy bit, deciding the profile is a subject of great depth and expertise.
