Description
Overview:
The Tension Pin for Makita circular saws is a genuine Makita component designed to secure parts and maintain correct tension within the tool assembly. Made from hardened spring steel with a slotted, roll-pin design, it compresses as it is driven into a correctly sized bore, giving a firm, vibration‐resistant hold. This part, MPN 951204-6, is sized 6 x 16 mm (approx. 6 mm diameter x 16 mm length) and is commonly used in assemblies on models such as the 5017RKB and 5603R. It helps keep guards, linkages, and housings aligned, supporting safe, accurate operation of the saw. Suitable for both professional and DIY maintenance, it is a practical, durable fix when a missing or worn pin is causing play or misalignment.
