Description
Overview:
The Base for Makita Jigsaws (part no. 317565-8) is a genuine Makita replacement shoe for maintaining stable, accurate cuts on your saw. Made from robust die-cast aluminium with a smooth, flat running surface, it provides a rigid and reliable reference against the workpiece, helping the tool track straight and true. It is designed specifically for Makita corded and cordless models in this family, including the 4340FCT and 4350CT. Use it to restore performance when the original base is worn, bent or damaged, or to ensure consistent results on new projects. The base supports the saw's existing bevel-adjustment mechanism and fixes directly to the body using the factory mounting points, giving a precise fit and dependable service life for trade and DIY use.
Key Features:
- Genuine Makita component for accurate fit and reliable compatibility on listed models
- Durable die-cast aluminium construction for strength, rigidity and long service life
- Flat, true running surface helps maintain cut accuracy and reduces chatter
- Supports the saw's built-in bevel adjustments while retaining clear cut visibility
- Smooth leading edges for better glide over timber, laminates and sheet materials
- Direct swap using existing screws and fixings; no modifications required
- Restores precision after base wear, impact damage or heavy site use
- OEM quality to match original performance and tool balance
Typical Applications:
General carpentry, joinery and site work; cutting plywood, MDF, worktops, laminates and plastics; template and curve cutting; cabinetry and furniture tasks; flooring and fit-out where a flat, stable shoe is essential for clean, accurate results with a Makita jigsaw.
