Makita part 347398-7 — Base plate (saw shoe) for 165 mm Makita cordless circular saws. This is the original Makita replacement base plate used on the DHS660 / DHS661 165 mm LXT circular saws. It’s the stamped/formed metal shoe that sits under the saw, providing the flat bearing surface for accurate, stable cuts and the attachment points for the depth/angle guides and blade guard.
What you’re getting
- Correct Makita part number: 347398-7 (marked as BASE in the Makita parts breakdown).
- Made to fit the 165 mm (diameter) circular saw assembly used on DHS660 and DHS661 series models.
Fitment and mounting details
- Designed to accept the factory mounting hardware (the parts list shows the base fastened with two countersunk M4 × 8 mm screws at the designated attachment points).
- Pre-cut openings and alignment holes match the original blade-guard and guide locations so the depth and bevel adjustments work exactly as before.
Why choose this part
- Restores the saw’s factory shoe surface so cuts track true and depth/bevel settings remain accurate.
- Direct replacement that fits without modification for DHS660 / DHS661 models — ideal when the original base is bent, scored, or otherwise damaged.
