| 5307 forum posts 83 photos | That's a neat method of cutting cams, and as that's what's stopping me finishing my IC engine, couldn't have been better timed. |

 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | Plenty of info to answer your question. There really is very little maths, it's a method described by Bill Wilkins in Model Engine Builder mag No 7 and made popular by Randall Cox on his "Hoglett" and "Open Six" engiens engine. You can buy digital back issues. I did draw it out for someone but will have to see if I still have the image. Works well though, this is a 3 lobe cam done that way
