Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Makita tension spring designed for circular saw mechanisms, supplied under MPN 231818-0. Made from durable spring steel with a coiled form and hooked ends, it maintains consistent tension on moving parts within the saw for smooth, reliable operation. Correct tension helps components return to position properly and reduces sticking or slack in linkages, supporting clean, controlled cutting. Engineered for Makita circular saws including the 5704R and BSR730, it matches the original specification for fit and performance. The robust construction is suited to regular site and workshop use, offering long service life and dependable behaviour under repeated cycles. It is an ideal direct replacement when the original spring is worn, stretched, or lost.
