cam followers

Post by volker.halbach »

I have a pair of cam followers for the twin lobe cam. Obviously, they have been reground, and the faces look unsused. I took a picture from the side that looks the thinnest. Are they safe to use? Or should I get new ones (the club had new followers some years ago) or get them built up and reground?

These are always quite thin, they look OK to me, as long as they were hardened after grinding.
