Bosch 1609B00249 — genuine Bosch compression spring, a precision-formed compression spring that restores the tension/return action inside the tool’s adjustment/locking mechanism.

This is the exact Bosch part number 1609B00249 (also listed as 1 609 B00 249 / 1.609.B00.249), sold as a single replacement spring and intended as a direct fit for Bosch slide mitre saws — specifically the GCM 12 GDL series (Bosch product code 3601M23601).

Why this part: the compression spring is used to provide reliable tension/support in the saw’s moving or locking assemblies, so replacing a worn or broken spring quickly restores correct operation and feel.
