Makita NEEDLE BEARING 708 - 212001-8

212959-1 supersedes older part numbers: 212001-8

Original Makita 212959-1 — Needle Bearing (Type 708). A genuine Makita spare designed for the gear assembly in Makita reciprocating (sabre) saws: a precision needle bearing with an inner diameter of 7 mm, outer diameter 14 mm and width 8 mm (needle-bearing 708). It’s the exact bearing used at the gear/guide sleeve location to restore smooth, low-friction movement where the slider/gear plate meets the drive train — a small part that stops vibration and play when the original bearing wears. Fits a range of Makita reciprocating saw models (examples: JR3051T / JR3050T, BJR181 / BJR182 / DJR181 / DJR182 / MT450T / M4501 and similar Makita reciprocating / sabre saws that list “needle bearing 708” as part 212959-1).
