Hi, why the different cam followers : some got champhered stellite pads , some did not, i had heard not to use the bevelled one ( about the pads) on hot cam as their lobes could hit that champher , but to use the flat one.....any ideas?

a question to Comnoz,
what wheel do you use to grind the stellite : silicon carbide (green)or aluminium oxide (white or grey) or something else. I cant really tell by the photo.
Is stellite a very sensitive metal regarding overheating when grinding. my mates valve grinder holds the valve on rollers by the stem and driven by a rubber wheel. It has a pink wheel, do you know anything about what type pink wheels are.
just curious.
you certainly have a very good collection of machine tools, but more importantly the knowledge to use them. being relativly new here, i say u da man.
kind regards
Bradley

in reply to Comnoz: thank you very much for your reply Jim. it is appreciated.
I guess I wont be trying to adapt my mates valve grinder to do lifters. it is just that he has a swing fixture to do valve ends,and you could adapt this, but he wont be too keen on changing wheels or wearing his pink wheel out either.
Do you have a hobbing M/C or fellows gear shaper perhaps. I would love to see photos of your workshop. I am retired now but the interest is still there. I cant do CNC, not even able to turn them on.
Thanks again
kind regards
Bradley

Today, someone who doesn't even know how to check the oil level in his automobile, but can manipulate numbers representing dollars is rewarded with millions annually. Sad, indeed.
