Cam lobe development layout
« on: October 10, 2014, 01:58:20 PM »
Gentlemen,
I have a long distance friend in North Carolina. I have been helping him by phone with his engine building problems for several years. He recently contacted me asking me if I could help him with a cam design for a typical 2 valve pushrod operated I.C. engine. To this point he has only done hit and miss engines. The chart I created for him was from his specifications.
I thought it might be of some value to the builders on this forum to see how I develop my cam lobes so I am including the chart that I made up for him.
This is for machining a cam on a milling machine using a horizontal rotary table.

I started out with nothing, I still have most of it left.
