I'm waiting for Arts new gear program, should be able to create some fancy drive train.

I made the timing cover today. The cover was cut using the CNC machine then the counterbores were made manually in the drill press. I now have to chuck it up in the lathe and bore the inside to recieve the front crank seal. I think the cover will be polished and buffed to a high gloss. 

BR549, show some pics of how you make your cams in the 4thaxis.

Great work and thread Steve!

What size Cap Screws are you using? Looks like #6-32
and I assume you wont be using any paper gaskets?
Fun project to watch being built.
