I used a set from a 064 with some grinding to the outer one to get perfect fit, I had those around so just made do. The saw has now arrived in Oregon for some port work and 'cause he has them on the self we'll see if a HD pair from a 462 will fit ? I should know in the next couple of days and will report back.
