Basicly I'm inspiring myself in your non circular turning, but using external offsets since is not needed anymore to fool the motion module of LinuxCNC. I intend to turn automotive camshafts, that is with a minimum of 180º of base circle (sometimes called heel I think), and a maximum lift of about 8 mm. So far, it's the same as you did back then. The only difference is that I in general I need to use two profiles (one for intake and one exhaust) and offset them in 90º, 180º and 270º to machine the majority of camshafts we machine now which are for 4 cylinder engines. Off course if this probes to be reliable (wich I'm more than confident It will be) the next step is to install LinuxCNC on a cylindrical grinder to finish the lobes without master.
