Hi Guys
Im trying to place a cam on the back of a rifle bolt which is essentially the same as a barrel cam....I have followed a couple of vids on youtube and while it would work on thin walled tube.....I'm not getting a true cam, both extremities of the cam look to point to the bolt central axis which is not right....I want to replicate a 4.5 endmill first cutting the slot and then milling out the cam.
I have tweaked every feature edit ect and can't get it to work.
Much appriciated.
