Milwaukee Rip Lock Assembly
Model Number: 44-20-0270
The Milwaukee 44-20-0270 is a genuine OEM Rip Lock Assembly for the 6480-20 15 Amp (3-1/4 Max HP) 8 in. Panel Saw. On this vertical panel saw, the saw carriage travels on the frame to break down large sheet goods, and the rip lock is the mechanism that secures the carriage and saw head in the rip-cutting position so the saw stays locked in place while the panel is fed through the blade for a rip cut. The rip lock assembly mounts on the carriage next to the left plate and is operated by the rip lock knob, giving the operator a positive lock for controlled, accurate rip cuts. Because it is supplied as a complete assembly, its components are factory-matched for correct fit and reliable locking action.
A rip lock assembly that is worn, broken, or no longer locks securely should be replaced to restore safe, accurate rip cutting, since a rip lock that will not hold can let the saw shift during a cut. This part is identified as Figure 33 on Milwaukee service bulletin 54-40-5100, and it fits the 6480-20 Panel Saw at serial breaks 697A and 697B as well as the 6480 Panel Saw at serial 797A. Note that a wrench may be needed to install this assembly. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. Inspect the rip lock knob and the surrounding carriage components when servicing the rip lock, since these parts work together.
