Description
Overview:
The Bearing Box Complete (MPN: 162220-5) is a genuine Makita replacement assembly for the Makita 5704R circular saw. It houses and supports the saw's spindle, keeping the blade running true under load. Built around a robust cast alloy housing with a precision, factory-fitted steel bearing, it restores smooth, reliable rotation when the original component becomes worn, noisy, or develops play. Correct spindle support helps reduce vibration, heat build-up, and premature wear on adjacent parts such as the armature and gears. This direct-fit unit is designed for straightforward maintenance and is suitable for both professional site work and DIY use. If your 5704R shows signs of bearing rumble, blade wobble, or inconsistent cut accuracy, replacing the bearing box is a practical way to recover performance and extend tool life.
