Original Makita part 264096-7 — Hex Nut M6. This genuine Makita hex nut (M6 metric thread) is the exact replacement you need when a nut on your circular/metal-cutting saw has stripped, backed off, or gone missing.

Precision fit for Makita saw assemblies: the 264096-7 is listed as the Hex. Nut M6 (XSH01 / XSH02) used on several Makita cordless circular and metal-cutting saw models (examples: DCS551, DHS660, DHS661, DHS710, XSH01-type tools). Installing this original Makita nut restores the factory clamping and alignment where an M6 fastener is required.

Sold as a single replacement nut for straightforward repairs — no modifications required. If you’re rebuilding the guard, blade mounting hardware or related subassembly that uses an M6 threaded connection, this is the direct, genuine Makita part to put your tool back to spec.
