just contemplating a cam grinder. never used one and know very little about them. research is indicating that the gene switzer grinder plans are the ones most talk about that can be had from Strictly IC magazines. but here is where i kind of run into all my questions and such. i cant seem to find any decent photos of said grinder or how it works or any build logs. - not just for his grinder but for any mini grinder for that fact. im certainly not above paying for plans or anything but at this stage i dont even know if i would be capable of building one with my skillset yet. right now i use the boring head method but thought it would be nice to make solid 1 piece ground cam shafts. was thinking of maybe some sort of duplicator grinder and i just 3d print a cam as the master or something. at any rate im not asking for free plans or to copy copyrighted material or anything here. just looking to see some details of the simplest cam grinder anyone has built that maybe someone with my limited skill set could produce and if it looks like something i could make then i would be happy to purchase. one problem i have with magazine articles is they are often very dificult to follow and offten have mistakes in them. (even read on another forum where someone was trying to make Genes grinder from the magazine articles and was having the same issues. so maybe there are easier to build versions, with build logs or something so i can see how dificult the setups required would be and if i have whats needed to do it.
at any rate right now its just research that im doing.
