Callies Crankshafts Producing 8620 Billet Cam Cores
Recieved notice today, that Callies, is producing billet cam cores for the camshaft industry. This has been in the making for about 1.5 yrs. Since Crane started to have problems, the owner of Callies, took a look at the equipment, but as far as I know only purchased the gear cutting equipment. Crane used to produce the the cams for the aircraft engine mfgs that Callies, makes crankshafts for and when Crane was going down the aircraft engine mfgs notified Callies ,that production of cranks was going to end until a cam mfg was found. So they now mfg and finish cams for aircraft engines and are solving the shortage of cores elsewhere. To me it's good to know that the mfg that makes cranks for aircraft engines also mfg cranks in our market. THEY ARE NOT SUPPLING CAMS ONLY CORES FOR FINISH TO THE CAM GRINDING COMPANYS.
