Thanks Don! I'm looking forward to see how well this one cuts! I have a long saw blade from an electric saws-all that should work well with it.

More shaping on the end cap. Drilled/counterbored for the piston rod and gland, and cut the center out more to let the gland be recessed below the ends of the rod supports, leaving room for the nut on the piston rod end where it will go through the moving crossbar later.
Also turned the blank for the piston rod gland, and rough cut out the crossbars for the guide rods. Next time I'll start drilling all that stuff...
Kim:
Good progress on your front end cap, Chris. It's more complex than I'd have thought! :ThumbsUp: :popcorn:

Thanks kim! Yeah, it has to hold the guide rods for the saw blade, as well as the pivots for the valve links. The end of the piston rod will have a crossbar bolted on that moves on the guide rods and holds the end of the blade. Then there is another crossbar out at the end of the guide rods to steady the rods and also give the blade more support.
