Makita parts

[Throbbin Rods]

Any thoughts on the best place to order parts for my Makita LS1220 sliding compound miter saw? Not sure what happened the other day, my significant other who is very tool savvy was cutting a couple of pieces (she has used it many times before.) The lower safety shield blew up and the metal center bracket bent. Need both plastic pieces for the safety shield, the metal center bracket for the safety shield and a couple of kerf guards. I looked at a couple of online places and the freight costs for 4 pieces of plastic and a small metal piece seems very high to me.
Any thoughts are very much appreciated!

Check with Makita's website to see if there's an authorized service center near you.

Have you tried ereplacementparts.com?

I've had good luck with them and they're shipping charges seem reasonable.
