Can U-shank Jigsaw's take T-shank blades too

[KG29]

Hi,

I haven't bought a new jigsaw since 2008 and see everything is mostly T-shank now for blades. I was recommend buying 12TPI for coping MDF moulding.

Id rather not mention the name but sears make's it [tongue] and the manual is missing from my case.

It has the quick change with the collar, I just wondered if T-shank blades would fit my saw...I Don't mind buying a new jigsaw with the Festool logo [big grin]

Though I would ask first.

thank you [smile]

I have one of each but never tried mixing blade types in either of them.

One is an old Craftsman Commercial Auto-Scroll and the other is a
Bosch which I don't remember the model off hand but their top of
the line saw about 5 years ago.

I will have to give it a try next time I am in the shop.

Hi

I just didn't want to say the name being it's a Festool site.

I bought the blades tonight, so I will see if they work.

thanks
