When slotting the holes ,my carbide bit wanted to jump on me so i used an ordinary chainsaw file and the slots came out nice and clean for the base bolts .

I did mine with a 1/8" single carbide burr. Worked well at lower speeds.

Whats base thickness on the 440? I think my 064 was .265

The smaller 5mm bolt gives you more cylinder adjustment.
6mm ain't a bad idea, but an uneccesary step that could be dangerous if you don't have the proper set up.

I just went to ask what the pros and cons are to using 5mm or 6mm bolts! Are there any others?

What could be dangerous about tappin the case to 6 mm holes? And if anything I would think you would want "less" cylinder adjustment? Or am I missin somthin?
You would have to slot the cylinder bolts less but other than that I don't think it makes much difference which bolts a guy uses

Someone uses a standard 6mm tap......I don't think that's a great idea.
Someone hand taps the holes and doesn't hit it perpendicular to the base.....I don't think that's a great idea.

Yes I can see if someone messes up any step and gets the cylinder off square or slightly not centered could cause some problems

 

[Adirondackstihl]

All taps are not created equal.
There are over size & under size taps.
These can't be bought at your local hardware store. IMO, a person would want to use a slightly under sized tap here.

this thread sure went down hill, all this talk about saws and stuff

 

[13TreeWorks]

Sry guys more saw related garbage but ..... Where are you getting bearings and such when you rebuild these saws ??? I read something about bearings with nylon or Teflon cages sounded like a good idea to me or using a full roller instead of roller ball ??? The full roller sounds like a good option on the hybrids more strength and all

OEM bearings are fine.

Fine yes but what about more better

You can get ceramic bearings.
