Original Makita 233538-2 — Torsion Spring (marked "15").
A small, precision-formed torsion spring that provides the torsional tension for the plunge/lock mechanism in Makita plunge routers; it’s the same-specified replacement described in the parts breakdowns.
Compatibility (direct fit): RP1800, RP1801, RP1803, RP2300FC, RP2301FC, RP2303FC and related RP-series plunge routers as shown in Makita parts diagrams.
Supplied as a single replacement item (quantity 1 on the official parts list) and intended to drop into the original mounting groove without modification.
If you’re replacing a lost or broken spring among your power tool parts, this original Makita torsion spring restores the correct preload so the plunge and locking functions operate smoothly.
