Original Makita Pin (Part No. 256437-1) — Pin 4
Restore proper alignment in your Makita tool with this original Makita locating pin (Part 256437-1, shown as "Pin 4" on Makita diagrams). It’s a small, hardened steel dowel-style pin used to locate and retain mating components inside the motor/gear/collet assemblies so shafts and gears run true and bearings aren’t stressed. The pin installs into a precision bore and is designed to match the original fit and finish for quiet, vibration-free operation.
Fits (example models)
Common applications include Makita compact routers/trim routers and several 115–125 mm angle grinders. Examples shown on Makita parts diagrams and listings include: RT0700C / RT0702C (trim/edge routers), DRT50 series, RP1110C / RP1111C / RP0910 (routers), and angle grinders from the 952x/95xx family such as 9520NB, 9521NB, 9522NB, 9523NB, 9524NB, 9526PB, 9527NB/PB, 9528NB/PB. Check your tool’s parts diagram — this is the part labeled "Pin 4" or 256437-1.
