Does anyone have, or know where I can get the plans for an aftermarket camshaft to be cut on a CNC machine? I have access to a gigantic CNC machine that can make ANYTHING out of metal. It is the huge industrial kind that you can start with a block of metal 25ft long x 8ft high x 8ft wide..
If anyone comes across plans to cut things on a CNC machine for the Lancer, let me know please. Thanks.

I would think it would be pretty hard to get somebody to give u the drawings for cams, they are not fun to design

Actually, they are easy to design in CAD.. but the hard part is just getting the dimensions to input to CAD for the new camshaft. We have made camshafts in the shop before.. but we already had the CAD drawings. Just put the metal in, and watch the machine go to work.. arg, all I need is the CAD drawing of an aftermarket camshaft.

that's what he was saying, it's extremely doubtful that anyone will give you the CAD drawings that they spent lots of time and money developing, just so you can run off a cam of your own

If you go to Olive Garden and ask for the alfredo recipe, do you think they give it to you?



You get props for trying, though.

haha yea, your probably right. Hopefully I'll find them sometime. I'll keep searching. Maybe I'll have to bribe someone.

It's cheese, butter and cream with a little pepper. Takes about 20 min to make.

You're probably not going to get those specs though. It'd be unreasonable for a company to create its own competition and **** on its own sale.

wouldnt it be a whole lot cheaper to just grind one from a blank cam then to cnc one?

while you there though make a nice one off set of wheels for the car

If you want to do your own cam grinding we can supply our billets unground. You don't have to take a RPW camshaft grind. The price is cheaper for a RPW billet unground ready for grinding if you want one.

No.. all I need is the cad drawings.. I have the CNC machine to use whenever I want.. the metal is cheap.. like pretty much free, lol. (since we buy it by the 20ft block or something, a piece of metal that small they said is like scrap) We have made a camshaft before for some guys hot rod. We made it so it was perfectly balanced to over 15k RPMs. sweet machine.
edit: and the metal we use is a very light alloy.. expensive and withstands heat you wouldn't believe.. (some of the metal I could use is used in the reactor of our nuke plant )
