Description
Overview:
This genuine Makita base plate (often referenced as 4340/SMA400) is the flat metal foot that supports and guides compatible Makita jigsaws, including the BJV140 and BJV180. Made from hard‐wearing metal with a protective finish, it provides a stable, true surface so the tool glides smoothly over the workpiece and the blade stays square to the cut. Replacing a worn, bent, or damaged plate restores accuracy, reduces vibration, and helps protect delicate surfaces. Designed to work with the saw's built‐in bevel mechanism, it maintains reliable alignment for both straight and angled cuts. This OEM part is supplied under Makita MPN 345238-3 and is suitable for trade and DIY users who want consistent, precise results from their Makita jigsaw.
