Milwaukee Washer
Model Number: 45-88-0045
The Milwaukee 45-88-0045 is a genuine OEM Washer used in Milwaukee power tool assemblies. A washer performs one or more of several jobs in a tool: it distributes the clamping load of a fastener over a wider area, sets correct spacing or preload between components, provides a smooth bearing or thrust surface between a rotating and a fixed part, and protects the surfaces it sits against from wear. This particular washer is documented as a component of the Milwaukee router depth shaft assembly, working alongside the 45-08-0030 Depth Shaft Assembly in the router's depth adjustment mechanism, where correct washer thickness and fit are what keep the depth setting accurate and repeatable. Small hardware like this is easily lost or damaged during a teardown, and it is exactly the kind of part that should be replaced rather than reused if it is bent, worn, or misplaced. Using the exact genuine Milwaukee OEM washer ensures the correct bore diameter, outside diameter, and thickness so the assembly reassembles with the right spacing and clamp load, since a washer of the wrong size can throw off preload, spacing, or adjustment.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, and because washers are common hardware that appear on many different Milwaukee tools in a range of sizes and positions, the only reliable way to confirm this washer fits your tool is to look up your tool's parts diagram by catalog number and serial number. Do not order by appearance: many washers look nearly identical but differ in bore, outside diameter, and thickness, and ordering by looks rather than by the diagram is the most common way to end up with the wrong part. If you are unsure, verify the part against your tool's service parts diagram before ordering, or contact us with your catalog and serial number and we will send you the parts breakdown. This washer is sold individually, and the quantity used and the parts around it vary by model, so refer to your tool's parts diagram to confirm the correct quantity and companion parts.
