Makita part JM23100051 — Limited (locking) knob, genuine Makita replacement designed to restore the original angle/stop locking on compatible Makita slide/compound mitre saws. This small but critical control replaces a worn, broken or missing knob that holds mitre, bevel or limit-stop settings securely so cuts stay accurate and repeatable.
Key details:
- Manufacturer part number: JM23100051 (Limited Knob / Limited Pin style locking knob).
- Function: secures and locks adjustment points (mitre/bevel/limit stop) to prevent slipping during cutting; installs in the same location and with the same fit as the original knob on the saw.
- Fit / example models: commonly listed for Makita LS1018L (255mm slide compound mitre saw) and related slide/compound models such as LS0815F/LS0815FL, LS1017L and some LS1815 listings — check your saw’s parts diagram to confirm exact placement.
- Shape/handling: positive-grip knob intended for confident hand tightening and repeatable settings; supplied individually as the replacement part.
Why this part matters: a worn or missing locking knob causes settings to slip or shift during cuts, producing inaccurate results; replacing it with the original Makita JM23100051 restores factory fit, feel and reliable locking of the adjustment.
Simple install — typically swaps in with basic hand tools and minimal disassembly; use your tool’s parts breakdown to confirm the knob location and orientation before installation.
