Vizard recently did a video where he showed a 18-24" pro style degree wheel. It has normal outer row of numbers, but also had an inner ring with degree markings that could be indexed.
My question specifically is... Aside from taking some time doing math out of the equation when degreeing cams what purpose does it serve? I tried doing a Google search for one by CVR, Comp, etc. And came up empty.

Think DV said in the vid, he made that wheel using a comp degree wheel and would explain it/why in a future video.

Yeah, the fact that multiple searches with various keywords didn't uncover anything had me wondering.BOOT wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 1:08 pm Think DV said in the vid, he made that wheel using a comp degree wheel and would explain it/why in a future video.

Very interesting. I would like to know the source of this wheel also.

He must not be very good at math. The only benefit that I see is being able to read duration directly rather than adding and subtracting.
And of course, 5 out of 3 people have problems with fractions.
I do like my digital degree wheel and the big old round one now just stays up on the wall.

Re: Degree wheel with inner row of numbers that can be indexed
I watched the linked video in one of the posts, I think what the deal is that when degreeing a camshaft you first have to find true top dead center. With a normal degree wheel you have to more the timing pointer until you have equal degrees on each side of TDC. To find true TDC. If you had a degree wheel with a movable or indexable degree ring, it would be much easier to find and mark true TDC. Looks like a good idea.Bill Chase wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 12:19 pm Vizard recently did a video where he showed a 18-24" pro style degree wheel.

[/quote]That's not what the second ring is for. It is to simplify/make direct reading of intake centerline without needing to do the math.
