Milwaukee Depth Shaft
Model Number: 45-08-0016
The Milwaukee 45-08-0016 is a genuine OEM Depth Shaft for the 6370 8 in. Metal Cutting Circular Saw. The depth shaft is the guide shaft in the saw's depth-of-cut adjustment mechanism, the shaft the base rides and pivots against as the operator raises or lowers the shoe relative to the blade to set how far the blade projects below the base. Once the desired depth of cut is set, the mechanism locks against the depth shaft to hold that setting through the cut. Because it is a precision guide component that carries the load of the base and takes the operator's adjustment force, the depth shaft must be straight and true for the depth adjustment to move smoothly and hold securely. A depth shaft that is bent, worn, or damaged causes the depth adjustment to bind, feel loose, or fail to hold the set depth, which shows up as inaccurate or shifting cut depth. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM depth shaft restores smooth, accurate, and repeatable depth-of-cut adjustment.
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 depth shaft is specified for the 6370 Metal Cutting Saw, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The base, depth lock lever, springs, and mounting hardware that work with the depth shaft 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 depth lock and base components when servicing the depth shaft since these parts work together.
