Collins coping foot blade help

[Md woodworker]

Can anyone advise which Festool blade to use with a Carvex/Collins coping foot? The Bosch T244d that is recommended is not available locally. Thanks. -Jon

Collins sent me an aggressive blade and said contrary to intuition, use an aggressive blade.

This looks like it...

I use the FSG blades which are like the Bosch 244DP blades.  The 144 is just a shallower blade that makes scrolling cuts easier.  All of the above have aggressive 6-7tpi blades with cross set teeth, so they will all work well.

The 490159 is what Collins sent. The Spider Skelton blades may be worth a try?http://www.spyderproducts.com/toolpages/spyder-skeleton-jig-saw-blade/

Never h heard or seen those spider skeleton  blades. Has any one used them and are they really that good?

Can't find a seller in the UK for these.

They come from Germany, so they are close by.
Some say that they run cooler...

Can't  find a supplier here in the uk or europe.

I have not used mine yet... But they look good.

The Spyder jig saw blade looks interesting, I wonder how well it will hold up to Festool's carbide blade guide system because of its skeleton design?

I'm more interested in the Spyder hole saw system, now that's seems more like a game changer.

The more aggressive blades work much better due to the fact that you're slowly grinding the material off by creeping up to the edge of the profile rather than trying to slice through it as you would with an actual coping saw. Ideally, the teeth never come into contact with the face, but stop short by a few fibers, so tearout isn't an issue.
