Original Makita Lock Plate — part 344815-8 — designed for the Makita 2012NB 12" thickness planer.

This genuine Makita lock plate secures mating components in the planer assembly to maintain proper alignment and safe operation; it’s the small stamped/retaining plate called out in the 2012NB parts list.

Lightweight and sold individually, the plate installs in the same location as the original and uses the existing screw holes—an exact-fit replacement for model 2012NB.

If your 2012NB’s locking plate is bent, worn, or missing, replacing it with this original Makita part restores the planer’s secure fastening and alignment. This item is one of the Makita parts you’ll need to get that machine back to proper working order.
