Description
Overview:
The Guard Shaft for Makita LS1216 and LS1016 saws is a small but critical component that keeps the blade guard moving smoothly and correctly aligned. Manufactured by Makita to OEM standards, it is a Genuine Part with manufacturer part number 325645-6. The shaft is a precision-machined metal part, typically steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, built to withstand regular site and workshop use. When the original shaft is worn, bent, or corroded, the guard can stick or wobble; replacing it restores safe and reliable guard operation. This part is designed specifically for the guard mechanism on the LS1016 and LS1216 family of mitre saws, ensuring a direct fit without modification and consistent performance that supports safe day-to-day cutting.
