I have done some searches on this forum, but have not been able to find recommendations for Trion jigsaw blades for coping moldings. I will be using the Collins coping foot. I attended a Katz radshow where Gary demonstrated using the trion to cope crown molding - really impressive. I did not recall the blade # he mentioned, but he did say the teeth had a wide set and was very stiff.

Collins recommends a certain bosch blade for use with their foot.
You could cross reference that.

Yes, that's right. Why not use the Bosch blade since it will work in the Trion.
I've been using the Collins foot with my barrel Trion for a few years now. The Bosch 244 blades work just fine.
FYI....When I received the new foot for the trion, I had to modify it slightly... the back of the blades were rubbing on the front edge of the foot. I just cut a kerf in the foot to accept the blade ( about 1/16", or so) and all's good. I don't know if this was a onetime manufacturing issue on my foot alone, or if all of the Collins need this adjustment. Either way, it was a very easy fix.
