Description
Overview:
Pin 6 (MPN 256231-1) is a genuine Makita locating/retaining pin used in key assemblies on selected Makita circular saws, including the 5103R and 5903R. Made from hardened steel for strength and wear resistance, it holds and aligns mating parts so the saw runs smoothly and stays true under load. This small but essential component helps maintain correct geometry in mechanisms such as guards, housings or pivots, reducing play and ensuring consistent cutting performance. Supplied to OEM specification, it is suitable for routine maintenance or repair when an original pin has worn, become damaged, or gone missing. Fitting a correct Makita Pin 6 restores proper assembly fit and prolongs the service life of your saw.
