The Makita 451013-8 Kerf Board is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to restore zero-clearance support on LS1016 and LS1019 sliding compound mitre saws. Moulded from a durable polymer, this kerf board sits within the saw table around the blade slot, providing close support to the workpiece right at the cut line. This direct support is what minimises tear-out and splintering, keeping crosscuts, mitres, and bevel cuts clean and accurate on timber, MDF, and composite materials. Over time, the original kerf board can become worn or damaged through regular use, leading to reduced workpiece support and deteriorating cut quality. Fitting this genuine Makita replacement restores the saw's cutting performance to its original standard, using the existing screws and mounting points for a straightforward swap. As a genuine Makita part, the 451013-8 is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original, ensuring a precise fit for LS1016, LS1016L, and LS1019 models. It is a practical routine maintenance replacement for carpenters, joiners, and shopfitters who rely on consistent mitre saw performance day to day.
