Makita Genuine 345489-8 Guide Plate for Makita JR3070CT Reciprocating Saw

The Makita 345489-8 Guide Plate is a genuine OEM spare part designed to restore precise blade alignment and stable cutting performance in the Makita JR3070CT reciprocating saw.

This small but critical component sits within the blade guide area of the saw, keeping the reciprocating blade correctly aligned under load. By reducing lateral play and blade wandering, it helps deliver cleaner, straighter cuts across timber, plastics, and metals — exactly what's needed on a busy job site.

Manufactured from stamped steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, the guide plate is built to handle the repeated stroke cycles and demanding conditions associated with demolition, pruning, and metal cutting tasks. Its durable construction supports consistent performance and helps reduce uneven wear on the blade and surrounding front end components.

Designed exclusively for the JR3070CT, this part fits precisely without modification, supporting correct operation of the blade clamp and front end assembly. It is ideal as a preventative maintenance replacement or for restoring factory tolerances after a guide plate has become worn, bent, or fatigued — helping to minimise downtime and keep the saw performing as intended.
