Original Makita tapping screw 266492-5 — M3 × 8 mm self‑tapping steel screw with a black finish and cross‑recess drive. Designed to form threads in Makita housings and internal brackets, it restores correct clamping and resists vibration loosening in handheld tools. Size: M3 thread, 8 mm overall length; drive: cross‑recess (Phillips‑style); material/finish: steel with a dark protective coating.

Fits many Makita angle grinders and related tools — examples include GA4030, GA4030R, GA4034, GA4530, GA4530R, GA4534, GA5030, GA5030R, GA5034 and several compact models such as DBN600/DBN600RTJ, GD0600, PJ7000, TM3000C/TM3010C (check your tool’s parts list for exact placement). Use this genuine Makita screw to replace missing or stripped fasteners so covers, guards and internal plates sit true again.

Small, simple to install with a standard cross‑head screwdriver, this genuine Makita part is a practical spare to keep on hand when servicing or repairing your tool. If you keep a modest stock of Makita parts it’s an inexpensive way to avoid downtime; it’s also a commonly requested item in kits of parts for power tools.
