Makita part 346846-3 — genuine Makita metal plate (listed in Makita parts diagrams as "PLATE") that replaces a damaged clamp/plate on the saw shoe. Fits several Makita circular saw models including the 165 mm HS6600 and the 185/190 mm such as HS7601, HS7610 and HS7611 (matches the Makita parts diagrams for those models).
Purpose and fit: this is the service replacement plate that secures to the shoe/base and holds alignment components in place — if the original plate is bent, cracked or worn it can cause blade misalignment or poor seating of the base. Mounting on the noted models uses pan‑head M5 screws (M5×40 shown in the parts breakdown), so it installs with the same fasteners from the diagram.
Why this part: sold as a genuine Makita spare (part no. 346846-3) and supplied the same on parts diagram so you can restore correct fit and alignment without modifying the tool. Check your model number against the parts list to confirm compatibility before fitting.
