Makita 165094-3 Spare Part - RIVING KNIFE BSR730/5704R
Makita 165094-3 — genuine Makita riving knife (splitter). This hardened-steel knife fits into the blade slot behind the saw blade to keep the kerf open and reduce binding and kickback; it’s made to match the original mounting holes and profile so it tracks with the blade.
Key details: the knife is intended for Makita 190 mm-class circular saws and the parts/manual listings for the compatible models specify a riving-knife thickness of about 1.8 mm for those saws, so it’s sized to sit close to a 190 mm blade without contact. It’s a direct replacement profile (same hole spacing and offset) so installation is straightforward using the saw’s existing fasteners.
Example Makita models this part is used with: 5703R, 5704R, 5705R and compatible 190 mm saw variants such as BSR730 and 5017RKB. Use this part number (165094-3) when matching the splitter to those models or their exploded parts lists.
Fits where you need the original safety performance restored — replaces a bent, worn or missing riving knife so your saw will run safer and cut cleaner.
