Does this only work with only Bosch blades or can I use blades from any manufacturer?

I haven't tried yet, but they look very standard. I've seen similar non-Bosch blades at places like Harbor Freight that I'm sure would work fine. They have the same similar shape. When my old blades run out I plan to try the cheaper ones too.

The blade holder is universal and will hold most recip blades you can find.

Can't say for sure, but the blades fit my Bosch tool, and the blade's design is said to be "universal" to fit multiple brands.

I bought on and I couldnt tell you which one came with it.. Might have been the bosch. It works great

It works fine with the blade they give you or any other by this B&D.; I too had trouble finding extra blades for it that would fit. There is a screw whole on the bottom that I believe can be used for fitment of other companys blades but do not remember if the corresponding bolt came with or not. It shouldn't be too hard to find one if not. Hope this helps.

I've had good luck with the Bosch. You get what you you pay for. Nothing worse than a crummy blade.

I stand corrected. The specs say it takes a 92 1/2" - 93 1/2" blade. Again: very common blade available at Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's. I bought Bosch blades from Lowe's and am very satisfied with them. Note: I am a light user--hobbyist, weekend DIYer.

I'm not familiar with that unit, I know bosch sells a universal adapter ( Home Depot) but caution cause it doesn't work on all saw blades. I tried a dremel blade with it on my Fein saw and it did not fit

from my experiences, tool companies usually don't have parts that interchange. it is not listed in manuel for this part. i have for use on bosch saw.

Of course. I have the Bosch GTS 10 and it works fine. But it will not fit all the blade at once. the arbor is a little short. i replaced the washer with another one to give me more space towards the motor. For the insert. i made a couple of wood inserts. It's a lot better than the metal. Or you can buy the inserts available at Amazon, but i recommend making wood ones. Hope it helps.XXD

I'm not familiar with the Bosch, but it seems to me that this laser guide would work on any saw that has a 5/8-inch arbor. Naturally, your arbor would have to be long enough to hold both the saw blade and this guide, and then the nut that holds them on.

It works perfectly for me. No problem opening the blades, you may want to oil it and work the blade a few times.I always buy Schrade. They have not let me down.

Sorry, can't remeber which blade it came with... I would assume the Bosch metal cutting blade would do the trick. I purchased some demolition blades and so far, they've cut through anything I tried them on. Hope that helps...

According to their specifications, we are supposed to be able to use other brands replacement blades. I have not attempted tobuy any yet. I did search amazon for replacement HSS (high speed steel) Segmented Blades and found many.

There is a blade adapter available. The Fein can be used with any other manufacturers blades.

Not to my knowledge - I have bought everything from Harbor Freight to Bosch - you just have to make sure you have the blade release lever all the way up and I also find that it seems to be somewhat sensitive to the position of the alternating head. If you can not get the blade in far enough to catch get you hands away from the blade end of the saw and pulse the trigger. Then try again. Here are a few I have used. http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-RP95-9-Inch-Cutting-reciprocating/dp/B000FAIUU2/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1413336557&sr=8-14&keywords=sawzall+blades http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-RW66-6-Inch-Cutting-reciprocating/dp/B000FAKY56/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1413336906&sr=8-8&keywords=Reciprocating+Saw+Blades http://www.harborfreight.com/6-in-general-purpose-bi-metal-reciprocating-saw-blade-assortment-12-pc-68923.html

I think this adaptor was included in the accessories but we don't use it. We get all our blades from MultiToolBlades.ca and are very happy with their titanium bi-metal blades for the Bosch.

The proper blade for this is a T-shank blade. I have not tried a straight shank that requires a keeper to slip in the little hole on the jigsaw at the top of the blade. This calls for a T-shank and that's all I've ever used. If you're pricing blades, the DeWalt may be a little pricey so I have stuck with Bosch, they're an excellent blade and work fine. I bought this saw as a bare tool and the nice to have flush cut blade did come with it as well.
