Thanks to John we now have the chance to build the camshaft grinder. Has anyone started yet? Could this be a new thread or project? I would like to follow a more advanced model engineers build......Also is there any photo's showing one built showing the whole grinder? The PDF photo's are a little unclear. What do you all think?

Gents,

I hope my little effort has helped you out, I am sorry to have called time on it, but as you can see, Joe has now got the problem of trying to get the plans to someone. Every time I opened my emails there were requests for help.

I would have put it into the downloads section, but copyright then rears it's ugly head.

At least now, because so many copies went out, you should be able to help each other.

BTW, another member also wanted to grind crankshafts. With a little bit of work on the 'dummy' end getting the 'throws' right, I think this machine could be modified to do just that.
It would be different than grinding a cam, because when you cam grind, all you have to do is take it down to the required size, this machine gives you the correct profile as it reduces you home made profile. With a crank, you would have to calculate out to give you, when you reach journal size, you also have to end up with the correct throw. Maybe two points of adjustment, one on the grind head as well would be the way to go.

I am sure that someone with the correct knowledge would be able to work it out.
