Lets try from a different angle. I have been doodling, what shape is the follower that contacts this cam. Is it spherical, a straight or taper pin profile. From that I can sweep the cam surface to form the ramp. |

I'd draw that in CAD as a 2-d ramp and plot x,y co-ordinates for step-milling with a ball end mill, but put the part on a rotary table and turn the part instead of moving in the x axis. |

Take it steady Shipto, no need to rush. |
| Deko:
If the angle you need to cut is 45 degrees, then use a 90 degree spot drill to mill the area. :beer: |
