Makita 324042-3 — Spindle (original Makita) for GD-series die grinders.
Description: Precision-machined spindle (part no. 324042-3) that secures the collet and grinding accessory in Makita die grinders. This genuine Makita replacement installs in the head assembly and corresponds to item 3 in the official GD0800C/GD0810C parts breakdowns. This Makita parts item is finished to same tolerances so the collet nut and cones fit reliably.
Fitment: Direct-fit for Makita GD0800C and GD0810C models and their close variants (commonly referenced alongside GD0801C and GD0811C in parts listings).
Notes and specifics: Designed to work with the tool’s collet nut (part 763645-2) and the standard collet cones offered for these grinders (6.0 mm and 6.35 mm / 1/4" sizes are supported by the GD0810C accessory set), and it interfaces with the 6901 and 6001 series bearings used in the head assembly — so you’re replacing the spindle that carries the bearings and collet stack in the head. This part is an original Makita component intended for reliable, accurate reassembly when ordering parts for power tools.
What you get: One genuine Makita spindle (324042-3), ready to drop into the head assembly to restore secure collet clamping and smooth rotation.
