Function of the Lock Tab
The N087375 Lock Tab is designed to:
- Lock the stand extension securely in place
- Work with the adjustment knob and carriage bolt

Using a genuine OEM replacement lock tab helps ensure reliable extension locking and consistent stand performance.
Common Signs Replacement Is Needed
Replace the lock tab if you notice:
- Bent or deformed metal tab
- Broken or missing lock tab
- Extension rail will not lock securely
- Excessive movement in the extension assembly
- Difficulty tightening the adjustment knob
- Visible wear around the locking surfaces
A damaged lock tab can prevent the stand extension from locking securely, reducing stability and making accurate material support more difficult.
Installation & Service Notes
Before servicing, remove the miter saw from the stand if necessary and place the stand on a stable, level surface.
Remove the adjustment knob and carriage bolt from the extension assembly, then remove the damaged N087375 Lock Tab. Inspect the knob, carriage bolt, and extension rail for signs of wear before installing the new lock tab in the same orientation as the original. Reinstall the hardware and tighten the adjustment knob until the extension locks securely. Verify that the extension slides freely when loosened and locks firmly when tightened before returning the stand to service. Installation is typically straightforward and generally requires only basic hand tools.
Important: Always verify your stand model and original part number before ordering. Inspect the mating knob, carriage bolt, and extension rail whenever replacing the lock tab to ensure the locking mechanism functions properly.
Maintenance Recommendations
- Periodically inspect the lock tab for wear or bending.
- Keep the extension rail clean and free of sawdust and debris.
- Check the adjustment knob and carriage bolt for proper operation.
- Tighten hardware only as needed to avoid unnecessary wear.
- Inspect the locking mechanism before transporting the stand.
- Use genuine OEM replacement parts to maintain factory fit, secure locking performance, and long-term miter saw stand reliability.
