Makita 251497-8 Tapping Screw 3 X 20

Product Description

The MAKITA 251497-8 is a tapping screw measuring 3 x 20, used as a replacement fastener in Makita power tools and accessories. Tapping screws of this type are self-threading fasteners that cut their own mating threads as they are driven into a pre-drilled or undrilled pilot hole. This screw is an OEM replacement component intended for restoring Makita equipment to factory specification. Installation is typically performed by service technicians or experienced users during tool repair or reassembly procedures.

This tapping screw is used in the repair and maintenance of Makita power tools where this specific fastener size and thread form are required. It is suited for light-gauge applications common in tool housing assemblies, guards, and accessory mounts. Sourcing the correct OEM part number ensures proper thread engagement and torque retention in the original material.
