Keep your Makita angle grinder running like new with the original Makita shoulder pin 256486-8. This small, precision‑machined shoulder/locating pin (Ø 4 mm) is made to the same specification as the factory part and secures and positions internal gearbox/guard components so the head assembly runs true and without excess play.
