Hi All,
First time using a boring head to cut a cam. Only had a single cam to cut.
What type of cutter are people using to cut cams this way, as clearance would be needed to cut a double cam.
Gives a lot better finish than a milling cutter

First pic, cam blank on gear,
Second pic, cutting cam,
Third pic, finished cutting,
Forth pic, cut of blank,
Last pic, finished to size and fitted to gear.

Cheers

I just use a cross drilled bar to take a round toolbit (old ctr drill) and a grub screw at 90deg to retain it.
