This item is an authentic Makita replacement part that is OEM sourced to be used with miter saws. The metal guide fence attaches to the table and is used to support material to make accurate cuts. This item requires a hex driver to install. It is recommended to use a t-square to make sure the fence is at a 90º angle from the blade before tightening the fence down. This item is available as an individual replacement part.
