Genuine Makita Shoulder Pin (Part No. 256511-5) — Shoulder Pin 6‑7. Precision-formed replacement pin used in the blade depth/guide and lever assemblies on Makita circular saws. This small but critical pin secures the sleeve/washer and pivot components (depth guide/angle guide and related levers) so the saw’s adjustment parts move true and hold their setting.

Why this part matters: the shoulder (stepped) design keeps the sleeve and washer located while the narrower shank passes through the mating hole — if the original pin is bent, worn or lost the depth stop, guard or guide can bind or fall out of alignment. The 256511-5 is supplied as the single replacement pin (1 pc) and is listed as a genuine Makita spare.

Example models this part fits (examples from Makita parts lists and parts sellers): 5007MG, 5008MGA / 5008MG (210 mm circular saw family), DHS680, DRS780 (cordless circular saws), RS001G(Z) / RS002G and HS012G. Use these as direct-fit replacements where the parts diagrams show 256511-5.
