Original Makita mitre compression (mitre pression) spring — part number JM23100049 — a direct replacement spring used in the mitre/bevel detent and pressure assembly.
This genuine Makita compression spring restores proper detent pressure and smooth, repeatable mitre/bevel stops on affected saws; it’s supplied as the single spring shown in the factory parts diagram (item 045).
Example models this part fits include Makita LS1018 / LS1018L and the LS0815F / LS0815FL, so it’s a straightforward swap when the original spring has lost tension, broken, or fallen out.
Light, compact and made to Makita specifications, the coil provides the exact pressure and travel the factory mechanism requires — ideal if you’re restoring correct mitre action without replacing larger assemblies. If you’re searching for reliable parts for power tools to get your saw back to factory feel, this original Makita spring is the one-to-one replacement.
