What does 12k include? Or is that a guess?

This may be a stupid statement however, why can't you just have your own cams made from scratch? Why do you need a core?

Not stupid at all. We have a 5 axis CNC machine and Automated Lathe, but neither are capable of making cam blanks or grinding cams. Cam grinders are very specialized and do one thing only, make cams. Some companies will do this from a solid billet stock but they tend to charge $1300 to $1700 to make, which means they won't be sell well due to cost. Cores reduce the cost grinding tremendously as there is a lot less to cut. Essentially, 90% of the cam shape is complete, all that needs to be done is grinding the lobe profile vs starting from large solid round stock and grinding or cutting the entire cam from scratch.

Hope that makes sense, either way we are on company number 5 and we are pleased with their capabilities so far. Hope to have 3 profiles in process soon.
