Finally, Makita “Head Only” – Split Motor Shaft Compatible to Reduce Luggage

Carrying everything around is heavy and cumbersome ♪

The split motor with quick-change tip tools
is innovative

However
when you bring everything to the job site
“it’s cumbersome, heavy, and long”

What if we could swap just the tip
to reduce what we carry?
Probably
everyone thinks the same way…

What do you think? (*´ω`*)

Like this, the very tip is also removable
I’ll check the dimensions and confirm compatibility.

I just noticed the other day.
Subtle differences in model numbers…
EN402MP
EM402MP

EN424MP

402 = long, 424 = short
First, the shaft length is different
Wow, interesting!

This is quite a discovery

The length difference looks like this.

680mm and 780mm
There’s a 100mm adjustment range.

If they sold different lengths
it would be even more interesting…
Various
safety considerations make it difficult

I’ll check the protrusion amount.
Roughly around 18.5-20mm
varies slightly depending on the combination

Even considering insertion tolerance play
there should be no issues
*at your own risk


The single-pin positioning is common to all
However
the rotation system
uses double (2-pin)
so caution is needed

It’s locked from both sides, so to speak

I made a slight modification
without using tools
a clamp lever might work too…

However
if it’s long, you might hit and bend it
taking shortcuts increases risks

Recently, since they take up space
“EM402MP and EN424MP”
one of each and three heads

Like camera lenses
“it’s reassuring to have them”
that’s the feeling I get.

Basically “compatibility confirmed”
rotation system has double lock
I’ll keep using them and make things easier (*´ω`*)
