Does this dewalt jigsaw use a t-shank or u-shank ? Jim G.

Well without running to my toolbox to actually check on it, I think it is used shank. But I think that is irrelevant, if you need a new jigsaw, you need a new jigsaw. Buying new blades and be done with it. If you want to know that this is a good jigsaw I say it is. In my past 54 years I say this is the best. It is a very good jigsaw, with lots of power, with easy to load blades, reinforced guide for the blades and a powerful motor for cutting. Once you pull the trigger on this thing be prepared to hang on. I have cut would and metal with this saw and it works beautifully. It cuts through anything like butter, the 5.5 amp motor has so much power it can get away from you. But the variable speed trigger can control that. I say this is the best jigsaw on the market today, and I looked at many of them before I bought this one. The price I found on Amazon was very good. The best part I like about this saw is that you need no tools to load the blades, you just lift up the mechanism slide the blade in release and then start cutting, it is just as simple as that. I hope this helps you out in the search for a good jigsaw.

I have used many jig saws at work over 35 years cutting wood and metal. This is the best jig saw I've ever used. My son has one and he loves it. He cuts mostly wood and I cut mostly metal. I would recommend this saw.

This saw didn't come with any blades when I purchased it. It has limited storage for 3 blades. It accepts BOTH U-shank and T-shank blades, which is great!Heather, blades are usually selected for material and thickness. There aren't any "all-purpose" blades. That's probably why this saw doesn't include any.

No; just the jig. This is one of the best tools I have ever bought! Used it to build my kitchen and vanity cabinets, and it works fantastic! Made the job so much easier and professional looking! Very easy to use.

No I don't believed so, the bit is a slipped on type and when it goes in it need to be locked via the grooves at the top of the bit. there is no key to lock the smooth round shank. it is a slipped in slipped out system by pressing down/pulling down the front of the drill to allow the bit to go in or come out.

Sorry, don't know. I've been using it with MiniCraft jigsaw on gourds and works well on even thicker ones.

This uses a Carbide Cutter - not a stone. Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener can be used on virtually all chainsaws. Most chains come in 3 standard sizes. Typically, chain size is relative to saw size. Larger more powerful saws use large chain while smaller saws use small chain. If you don't know what chain your saw has look on the bar for the indicated chain size (pitch). Go to http://www.timberlinesharpener.com/ for info. Thanks

No. A jigsaw is typically used for rounded and scroll type cutting. Freehand or with a guide. It's not designed for straight cuts that need a lot of accuracy.

Just so we are clear T.I.G.= tungsten inert gas and SMAW= Shielded metal arc welding/ or its street name stick welding, now for your answer Yes this Machine will weld TIG and SMAC but not at the same time, I can tell you the sitck welding on this is soo smooth the arc is easy to light and has a great feel. Plus with this machine you have a 110v as well as 220v arc welder

Yes, standard t-shank. I bought the Festool blades though. They aren't much more expensive than Bosch and excellent.

I bought this saw for my husband. I don't know the answer, but I will ask him to answer you.

The Festool 561443 PS 300 EQ jigsaw uses any T-shank blade. My personal preference is the Bosch blades, and they work just fine. The Festool blades are extremely expensive and offer no particular superiority that I can see.

Most recent Black and Decker jigsaws will accept both T and U shank blades. This Bosch set only includes wood and metal blades, but in a pinch you could use the T118A metal cutting blade for PVC. Bosch makes more material specific blades than any other company and their T102 blade is specifically designed for plastics up to .75" thick.

I didn't list it but the tip is rounded. So I guess it is a Usuba. Call it what you want the picture is the actual saw.

Hi Joe, This unit uses a 1/4" shank and no bigger than a 1-3/8" diameter cutting bit.

No, DeWalt does not recommend using a dado blade on the DW745 or the DWE7480 Table Saws. There was apparently some misprint in documentation and they amended that via their online Q&A.;
