You could shim it apart just as easily as closed. That would make it nice and stable.

Yes of course I could.... i was looking at it this way... the thread is 8tpi, 3mm. the kerf on the saw is 1mm+. The backlash is 2mm (yes, almost a turn). So I could shim it out a lot, or mill it down and shim it back out a little... but obviously I'll try the former first....

SKF Dormer make quality jobber bits.
If you really want a 7mm hole grab a 6.7mm bit.
Don't start with the 6.8 because it's probably blunt being the M8 threading size

Threading size???? I normally use a smooth sided pointy bolt and a hammer or super glue to hold things together or a hammer or a few grams of PE :naughty: to take things apart. Mind you my subject matter is almost always organic in origin.
