Description
Overview:
The Retaining Ring 32x1.2 is a Genuine Makita part for the EK6100 disc cutter, supplied under part number 234388-8. Made from hardened spring steel with a protective black finish, it is designed to lock components securely on a shaft or in a bore and resist the vibration, heat, and dust encountered in cutting applications. It prevents axial movement so parts stay in position during operation, helping to keep the drive system running smoothly. Sized for an exact fit at 32 mm internal diameter x 1.2 mm section (approximately 1.26 in x 0.05 in), this OEM retaining ring is engineered to Makita tolerances for reliable performance and long service life in the EK6100.
Key Features:

- Exact size: 32 mm x 1.2 mm (approximately 1.26 in x 0.05 in)
- High-strength, hardened spring steel for durability under load
- Black corrosion-resistant finish for improved longevity
- Maintains axial retention to stop parts from drifting in service
- Stable under vibration and temperature changes common in cutting work
- Helps restore original performance after maintenance or rebuilds
- Straightforward to install and remove using appropriate circlip pliers
- Designed specifically around the EK6100's assembly clearances
- Supports preventative maintenance by replacing worn or distorted rings
Typical Applications:
Securing bearings, gears, pulleys, or clutch-related components within the Makita EK6100 disc cutter to prevent axial movement on a shaft or within a housing groove. Ideal when rebuilding the drive system, replacing worn parts, or reassembling after cleaning and inspection. Suitable for routine servicing where consistent retention and alignment are required to keep the cutter operating smoothly and safely on site or in the workshop.
Also known as:
Circlip, snap ring, C-clip, locking ring, shaft retaining ring, internal/external retaining clip (application dependent), retainer ring, groove ring. These terms are commonly used for spring-steel rings that locate in a machined groove to stop axial movement of rotating or stationary components in power tools and machinery.
