Original Makita 212957-5 needle bearing — a genuine Makita replacement listed as "Needle Bearing 710" for reciprocating saws.
This drawn-cup needle roller is shown in Makita parts diagrams for models JR3070CT and JR3060T (also referenced in some service docs for JR002G), so it’s the direct fit for those saw gear-train locations.
The Makita designation "710" corresponds to the B‑710 drawn‑cup/needle bearing series — nominal dimensions are approximately 11.11 mm bore × 15.88 mm outer diameter × 15.88 mm width, making it suitable for the small gearbox shafts used in these reciprocating saws.
This original Makita part is intended to replace a worn or damaged bearing in the saw’s reduction/gearbox assembly; it installs as a press/fit into the housing and restores smooth blade drive and reduced play.
Refer to Makita parts diagrams to confirm fit for your exact model and serial number before installation.
