Hello Andy, and thanks for your answer.
My idea is to copy or acquire the shape of the lobe using one of those
testing machines for camshafts, they have an encoder on the rotational axis
and a linear digital sensor to measure the elevation of the lobe as the
angle changes. Using this it's very eas

Hello everybody.
I would like to ask to the list, if you know or think about a possible
method to create toolpaths around a lobe, using a rotary axis for the lobe,
and a linear axis for the cutting tool. Since the tool is intended to be
circular, there's no need for height compensation, so one lin
