Milwaukee Spindle Assembly
Model Number: 38-50-6055
The Milwaukee 38-50-6055 is a genuine OEM Spindle Assembly for the 6266-22, 6268-21, and 6276-21 Milwaukee jig saws. On a jig saw, the spindle, sometimes called the plunger or blade holder shaft, is the reciprocating shaft that holds the blade and drives it up and down to make the cut. It is the heart of the saw's cutting motion: the motor's rotary motion is converted through the gearcase into the spindle's reciprocating stroke, and on these orbital jig saws the spindle also delivers the orbital action that swings the blade forward into the cut for faster, more aggressive cutting in wood. The blade clamp mounts at the end of the spindle to hold the jig saw blade. Because the spindle reciprocates thousands of times per minute under cutting load and rides in its guides and bearings continuously, it is subject to wear: a worn, bent, or damaged spindle causes rough or inaccurate cutting, excessive vibration, blade misalignment, or a saw that binds. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM spindle assembly restores smooth, accurate reciprocating and orbital cutting action.
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 spindle assembly is specified for the 6266-22, 6268-21, and 6276-21 jig saws, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The blade clamp, the guides and bearings the spindle rides in, the gearcase and drive components that reciprocate it, and the counterbalance are separate parts that vary by tool, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers, and inspect the guides, bearings, and blade clamp when servicing the spindle since these parts work together. Because replacing the spindle involves opening the gearcase, follow the correct service procedure and re-grease the mechanism with the Milwaukee-specified grease on reassembly.
