 The A grind is pretty mild. To me it's actually the ideal cam for a dresser.
All of the cams I have are *way* bigger than the A grind, you might want to just
leave it alone. The only thing I would do would be to lose the solids, no reason
in the world to put solids on an A grind. I might have a set of them too.
