I assume the 6 1/2 blades are not interchangeable with 7 1/4 inch blades for the circular saw?

Typically, yes. The 7 1/4 inch blades will usually not fit into the housing of the smaller saws

I think that depends on the arbor size and whether the smaller diameter will allow the saw to cut correctly. If the blade has a 5/8 arbor it will fit the saw, but changing the diameter of the blade will affect the speed of the cutting edge and the depth of cut.

The user's guide has specs required for the selection of blades that can be used with the saw. They include the legal disclaimer that "for your safety" they recommend using Festool blades tested and confirmed compatible with the saw.I'd call the manufacturer, or maybe they have chat/email tech support. Their site should have the user's guide with all the requirements for a compatible blade.

you can, but i'd recommend just getting an adjustable one. unless you have a circular saw or a way to keep the same angle it can be frustrating. I used a dremmel, and eventually got it to fit after cutting ~1" off. not worth the effort.

yes, you can use it with a 6 inch Hole Saw. This ARBOR has a 7/16 inch shaft ) most drills home owners own or use will be able to use up to a 3/8" shank. You will need a drill that has a chuck that opens to half inch ( common is 3/8" ) Because of the diameter of the shank ... it will NOT fit into the drill commonly owned by most home owners and hobbiest. You will need a what is called a Half Inch drill to use this Arbor. I think I bought this because of size of the holes I was making ( 5 inches ), the hole saws would not work with the smaller arbors I already had. Sorry if you read this before I caught that. I had also purchased a new 3/8th inch shank arbor , was thinking this was the that one.

I really couldn't say for sure. However, the holes in the removable rails seem to have a rather flexible arrangement to allow for other brand saws to be used. You may want to download the instructions from the DeWalt website to see if dimensions are available.

I don't know. I'd have to see the hole pattern on the blades that you mention. If the hole patterns match, it'll work!

It doesn't work with those sizes (2 1/8" and 2 3/4"), I had to buy different hole saws for those sizes. It is very disappointing.

Technically there is no reason you couldn't I guess - the bar is a different piece. However finding suitable metal, tapping new holes, etc might make it more trouble than it is worth. I had search for a jig for a smaller slotted saw and eventually decided on a bigger saw. The only other option is to make a jig using many of the available patterns online. Might not be the answer you were looking for, but hope it helps. : )

I do not know. If you give me the measurement of the blades, I will measure the blades I have and see if they are compatible.

I can't say but I've had issues regarding ordering the specific blade for this saw. I bought one that the seller said was 4 3/8 but it was 4". Otherwise the saw is great!

This blade in the picture is not the 5/8" arbor type. As a matter of fact, I bought the 5/8" arbor and I haven't opened the box and use it yet. My understanding is the nut of the grinder can be screwed in from both sides. One side is for a thin blade the other side is for a thicker blade such as the 5/8" arbor.

I have not had the need to change the blade yet, but I would imagine that the procedure is covered in the owners manual and probably changes in the same manner as any other circular saw.

They are not specific to this model. We use standard Bosch blades in this, various sizes & lengths.

If its the same set-up as inserting the blade on a jig saw it should work. According to the description on Amazon: Tool-free blade changes Accepts standard jig saw blades for added convenience

This will not fit, the blades are too big. I agree with the other answer here - you shouldn't use a dado blade on a circular saw. http://forums.finewoodworking.com/fine-woodworking-knots/power-tools-and-machinery/dado-blade-circular-saw

I've set it up with a Roybi 6-1/2 circ. saw. The set up should be the same for 6-1/2 or 7-1/4. My only thought is that the weight of a 7-1/4, especially a worm-drive, might be awkward. Still, it's probably as good, if not better, than the fences I've seen shipped with saws by the manufacturers.
