Was going to include the grinding wheel dressing process but it would have made the video a little long. There is a hydraulic wheel dresser positioned above the wheel housing. By moving a lever the dresser (industrial grade diamond) is passed across the wheel face to provide a new surface to the wheel. This is done once after roughing the lobes and then again slowly to provide a very fine surface finish to lobes when slow finish grinding. Usually 2 dresses per cam.
hi can you please tell me is the vt -vy v6 cam lobes r 1st lobe intake followed by 2 exh lobes then another intake lobe. ive been measuring a new cam & im getting mixed figures.
I worked at a machine shop back in the 80's grinding cams. We did treat/harden the finished cams in a tank of a hot solution. The process is called Parkerization and took about 15-20 minutes as I recall.

Handy tool for the shed
can you do a tutorial on basics of camshaft grinding and how to setup and operate?
Can you make titanium or Inconel cams and can they be hollowed out?
Hi Sam, how often do you have square up the stone and how do you do it

Can you share the program checks the camshaft?
Is there any hardening or surface treatment carried out after grinding and checking?
I would assume that the hardening has been done before the grinding.

I thinking that the machining process is very aggressive, need to more water cause the problem came after with harness
it is better to used oil coolant, it can enlarge the work life
