DeWalt LATCH - 1004696-18

Original DeWalt replacement latch — part number 1004696-18 — for the rip-fence assembly on DeWalt DWE7491 series table saws. Designed to restore positive fence locking when the original latch is worn, damaged, or broken.

Durable molded polymer construction with the factory-fit geometry that engages the fence locking mechanism; installs into the stock fence assembly for a secure, repeatable lock and smooth operation. Ideal when your rip fence won't hold position or the flip-over narrow-fence stop no longer latches reliably.

Fits DeWalt DWE7491 table saws (including common Type 1 and Type 2), so you can replace just the latch rather than the entire fence. Simple swap-in installation — direct replacement for DeWalt part 1004696-18.
