Description
Overview:
This Sub Plate is a genuine Makita replacement for the base of selected circular saws, designed to restore a flat, stable cutting platform. Built from robust metal with a smooth sliding surface, it supports the tool during operation and helps maintain accurate cut geometry. It is engineered for the Makita 4131 and 5017RKB models and replaces worn, bent, or corroded plates that can affect performance and safety. As an OEM component (Makita 344944-7), it matches the original part for fit and function, including mounting points and clearances. Fitting a fresh sub plate helps the saw track straight along guides and worktops, reduces vibration, and assists with consistent depth and bevel settings. Suitable for everyday use on site or in the workshop.

- Genuine Makita OEM part for consistent fit and alignment (OEM No. 344944-7)
- Direct replacement for the factory base; no modifications required
- Durable metal construction for long service life under regular site use
- Restores a flat, rigid footprint to improve cut accuracy and stability
- Smooth underside aids clean travel over work surfaces and straightedges

- Helps maintain square, bevel, and depth settings across the cut
- Resistant to wear from frequent material contact and handling
- Supports safe operation by reducing wobble and workpiece snags
- Suitable for both professional and DIY maintenance of Makita saws
