Hmmm... Well this is one of them questions that have many answers! One thing some people don't take into consideration is,,, The computer doesn't make the part...It all begins with the actual CAD rendering.. Now does it take skill to draw up a part in CAD or not... Sure it does.. Many folks...

I used my X2 to tap a 15/16-16 manually in 6061 T-6 aluminum and it works quite well... Just mount the tap in a Collete and draw the tap down using your draw bar manually..gradually lower your spindle as your taping... Then gradually raise the spindle as your backing out the tap// 1/2'' would...

WOW! You guys are a great deal of help here... thank you! I am in the process of converting the mill over to cnc as we speak... I'm just trying to think ahead and want to learn all the '' tricks of the trade '' so to speak well before i run into an issue... My mill is quite rigid... It's just...

Bummer! I had hoped there was a special end mill you use or something... I trammed the mill and it's correct... I'm using 4 flute end mills @ about 2300 rpm and it don't look to bad... I just thought there was a special type of end mill to achieve such a smooth finish... Once i get going on...

Hey guys! How do you guys go about removing your tooling marks on aluminum.. I know how to wet sand them and polish to mirror finish... Is there a special technique you guys do to achieve such a smooth surface? Perhaps i need to purchase better end mills or something.. I've just been using 2/4...

Holy Smoke.... Sir you are quite talented... I'm not planing on building a to complicating cnc machine my friend... It's just a Sieg X2 Mini Mill....I do plan on putting together a few CAD/CAM programs together for the cams though... I don't plan on mass producing any of my engines but i do want...

I purchased a X2 from harbor freight last year and I'm very happy with it... I would suggest you convert it over to belt drive asap... them plastic gears wont last long...

clearly my mistake... Lift/Duration/Overlap... no biggie it's all good Hmm are you sure about the degree? I was told i could even go with an 278 degree duration with a 0.490/0.480 lift... Reason being.. It's a two lobe blower rotor... Input wanted guys... I surely don't want to create the...

Yeah i wish i had the time to sit down a learn a little more about writing up g codes... I've done some in the past and all went well... but nothing quite as complicating as a cam... I'm thinking about going with a 0.93 lift both intake/exhaust.. flat tappet design with a 180 degree spit between...

Thanks... Yes it's just a harmonic type cam... I've look in to quite a few 4th axis cam programs... looks like I'm going to need to spend a few grand for a decent one... I plan on machining quite a few different lift cams as well.. http://www.sprutcam.com/gallery.asp looks like a good one!

Hey guys... Long time viewer... first time question.. I"m planing on machining a 1/4 scale blown v8 engine within a few months and have a question regarding the cam grinding... I'm building a custom rotary table type cam grinder with a fixed grinder and need to know what type of 4th axis cam...
