Starting the cam turning fixture....I'm building it big enough to be a piece of tooling going forward.   What is missing is the journal blocks that will hold the cam...that's the next two parts to make.

The holes are 10-32  with 1/8 reamed holes down the middle to locate the blocks

Its long enough to do the 917 cam shafts....I hate building fixtures more than once if I don't have to.

Looking forward to seeing that in use Dave. Both on the Wallaby and the 917 :)

Gonna get a box for it online....no time to build boxes, but this will be a nice fixture to have for sure....11" long

I have a special set of holes for the Wallaby camshaft drilled in it...and there is a flat on the back side so I can set back up on it and drill more if I need to going forward.

Looks good Dave.  That's one thing I try to do as much as possible too, make tooling universal/multi use.

I'm going to make the blocks today...along with the honeydoo list.......

Then I can get on with machining the lobes.....picked up a nice oak box in the bay for the fixture...cheap!....I couldn't have bought the brown stuff for what I paid shipped!...
