Dewalt 394589-01 M6X16 Screw for Dewalt 10in and 12in Miter Saw Series

The DEWALT 394589-01 is an OEM replacement M6x16 machine screw engineered precisely for heavy-duty stabilizing connections on professional miter saws. Measuring approximately 0.80 by 0.40 inches with a standard M6 thread diameter, a 1.0 thread pitch, and a 16mm shaft length, this specialized fastener features a low-profile head with a combined Torx T30 and flat-blade drive interface. It functions as the primary security hardware tasked with anchoring vital components like the lower blade guard mechanism, the pivoting linkage arm, and the underlying pivot plate assembly. Replacing a stripped, rusted, or missing factory screw ensures the lower guard moves smoothly and fluidly without catching, preserving crucial operator safety and maintaining pristine workspace visibility during high-speed cutting.
