Description
Overview:
This Genuine Makita riving knife is a safety-critical accessory for the Makita 5903R circular saw. Made from tough, precision-formed steel, it sits behind the blade to keep the kerf open and reduce the risk of kickback and binding. The profile and mounting points match the original factory specification for accurate alignment and dependable performance. Identified by MPN 345735-9, it restores the saw's intended safety set-up when the original part is worn, bent, or missing. Suitable for trade, site and workshop use, it helps maintain cleaner, straighter cuts and improves control through solid timber and sheet materials. A direct, genuine replacement, it is designed for quick fitting with the saw's existing hardware and correct spacing relative to the blade.
