Genuine DeWalt washer, part number 1004696-10 — a special flat washer 8.5 × 15 × 0.5 mm designed to sit under latch / cover hardware on DeWalt table saw assemblies.

This washer is shown in the DWE7491 parts breakdown (Type 1 and Type 2) and is commonly used twice on the front / rear latch areas of that model.

Made to original DeWalt specification for exact fit and correct spacing, it restores proper latch action and prevents binding or unwanted play — a small part that makes a big difference when repairing a saw.

A compact, genuine DeWalt spare like this is one of the essential DeWalt parts to keep on hand when servicing tabletop saws, and it’s a typical example of the small but critical parts for power tools.
