Milwaukee Material Clamp Assembly
Model Number: 42-38-0087
The Milwaukee 42-38-0087 Material Clamp Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use across multiple Milwaukee M18 miter saw platforms, including the 2733-20 M18 7-1/4 in. Miter Saw, the 2734-20 M18 FUEL 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw, and the 2739-20 M18 12 in. Miter Saw. The material clamp, also called the hold-down clamp, is the vertical hold-down assembly that secures the workpiece to the saw fence and base during cutting operations. Properly clamping the workpiece is one of the most important safety steps in miter saw use because it prevents the material from shifting, kicking back, or being pulled into the spinning blade as the cut is made, which protects both the operator and the cut quality. The clamp inserts into a mounting hole adjacent to the fence and locks down with a threaded screw and pivot mechanism that grips materials of varying thickness, allowing the operator to firmly secure stock for accurate, repeatable miter, bevel, and compound cuts.
As an OEM service part manufactured to Milwaukee's exact factory tolerances, the 42-38-0087 ensures correct fit in the clamp mounting hole, smooth threaded adjustment, and the clamping force the original equipment was designed for. Replacing a bent, broken, stripped, or missing material clamp restores safe miter saw operation and accurate workholding for trim carpentry, framing, deck building, finish work, and any other miter saw application where workpiece movement during the cut is unacceptable. The 42-38-0087 is the Figure 621 component on Milwaukee service bulletin 54-40-2750 (2734-20 platform). 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 ordering, since Milwaukee occasionally implements running production changes that affect part compatibility within the same catalog number. Verify by serial number using Milwaukee's online parts lookup before ordering to confirm correct fitment for your specific miter saw.
