Milwaukee Blade Release Lever
Model Number: 31-52-2429
The Milwaukee 31-52-2429 is a genuine OEM Blade Release Lever for the 2429 M12 Sub-Compact Band Saw. This is the lever the operator moves to release blade tension so the band saw blade can be removed and a new one installed. On a band saw, the blade runs under tension around the pulleys, and the release lever is the control that relaxes that tension for a blade change and re-tensions the blade for cutting. Because it is actuated by hand every single time the blade is changed, the release lever is a genuine wear and stress point: over extended use it can wear, crack, or break, at which point the blade cannot be properly tensioned or released and blade changes become difficult or impossible. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM lever restores proper, reliable blade tensioning and release, which is essential to safe blade changes and to keeping the blade correctly tensioned for straight, accurate cuts.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This blade release lever is specified for the 2429 and 2429-20 M12 Sub-Compact Band Saw, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The screws, washers, springs, and tensioning components that work with the release lever are separate parts that vary by tool, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers and quantities, and inspect the related tensioning hardware when replacing the lever since these parts work together.
