can it be used with older style jig saw blades or does it only use the newer "T" type blade?

Yes it can be used with the older style jig saw blades as well as the newer "T" type blade.

It can use either but if you use the old style blades I have found it will not accept a very large sized one as the the spot where you insert it will not be wide enough. I hope this helps and I would definitely recommend this jigsaw.

You can use both, however the T shank will stay in better. If you force the blade with extreme pressure, the u shank can fall out.

I have a table saw and choose to use my festool ts 75 instead. It is quicker and cuts perfect straight cuts. Z germans know how too make fine tools which makes life easier.

It should. It has the ability to remove the T-track portion at its leading edge. The shaft is 3/4" wide by 3/8" thick. It has four plastic discs that you expand to fit your slot by tightening a counter-sunk allen machine screw. The allen wrench is included. I am very pleased with my miter gauge and it is a definite improvement over the one included with the saw.

Athena this attachment is specifically designed for Reciprocating Saws. Jigsaws are different as Dwayne, Mike and Gabriel have all stated. If you look at the "Tang" Portion of the ReciproTool it is a varation of Reciprocating Saw Blades. The Jig Saw has a disticntly different blade attachment and the ReciproTool Adapter will not work on jigsaws.

I am sorry i can't answer that question, I used these blades in a jig saw and i don't know what type clamp the black and decker has

I would say no. The speed of the blade is critical to each type of blade and the design of the saw is specific to the blade type.

I don't know - apparently you can, but it has Japanese on it and I can't tell which one fits. As is in my review, I just got an extra saw because the majority of the purchase by far is the blade anyway.

Yes, so long the as the slot is t-slot. Most newer wood machines have a t-slot. The slot is slightly wider at the bottom so the miter doesn't tip. I have a Laguna bandsaw and shaper the miter works in both or all three!!Happy Day!!

It is supposed to use both types of blades. I pulled out the blades I have been using and they T shank blades.

I don't believe so. It's a handy compact tool that is easy to have around but it wouldn't be my only jig saw. I have a Bosch corded one that I use for anything serious. That said, I use it several times a week.

Absolutely yes. I purchased it specifically for my TS2400 saw, and used it successfully with my dado set to make the joints for my router table base. Don't know what John's problem was.

No, we do not recommend using a dado blade on the DW745 Table Saw.There is a misprint in the DW745 type 2 manual that says you can use a dado blade, this information is incorrect and is being revised.See the attached Powerpoint presentation regarding the error in the DW745 ty 2 manual.

Yes I've used it for both a table saw blade and jointer knives. 'o modifications necessary, just put it together differently.

If you can find a blade, and I'm fairly sure you can. The saw has excellent support that would be required for a clean, straight cut. All my other jig saws would fail because of lack of support. This is an excellent saw. Best in it's class.Jim

Didn't it already come with a blade? Like I said, it's the "T" jigsaw blade. :)
