Genuine Makita press plate — part number JM23100023. Designed to replace the small thumb/press plate that actuates the table/mitre lock bracket on Makita slide compound mitre saws, it restores positive mitre-angle locking and smooth, repeatable fence engagement.
This original Makita part is listed as the PRESS PLATE for LS0815F/LS0815FL (216 mm blade) and for the LS1018 / LS1018L and LS1017L (255 mm blade) series, so it fits the common 216 mm and 255 mm Makita sliding mitre saws in those model families.
The piece is a direct-fit replacement that installs in the mitre-lock/fence area and is intended to be swapped in place of a cracked or worn plate — an easy repair that brings back precise mitre locking without adjustments to the rest of the assembly.
If your saw is one of the models above and the table/fence won’t lock cleanly or the thumb plate is broken, this genuine Makita JM23100023 press plate is the correct factory replacement to restore proper operation.
