WHERE can I find this saw blade?

It's off an old saber saw(?) jig saw

 

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot, these are BOSCH style jig saw blades.

 

Like said, it looks like my bosch jig saw blades, Lowes, Home depot, any good hardware store should carry them. I usually buy the bi-metal blades, they are a little more expensive, but last much longer.

 

Well, I tried True Value and OSH so far. Mine resemble some of theirs, but not quite. Osh had a pretty good ***ortment. I'll try the others, but I'm not optimistic. These are very unique I think

 

You mentioned it's old, what brand is it?

 

LESTO cast into the main body, Scintilla and made in Switzerland on a tag

 

Maybe it's time to upgrade from the one your grandfather willed to you in the 60's!!!!

 

Don't laugh. I think that's where it really came from

 

Groucho, out of couriosity I googled lesto jig saw blades, found this air powered one on ebay. Guy says it uses bosch blades, but after looking at my blades there is a difference. Heres the site on ebay, and also a pic of bosch blades that my saw uses.

I have one too that was left to me by my buddy's grandad! It still has the cloth cord on it,LOL!!!

 

I've got an old soldering iron with a worn cloth cord. It's given me the Don King hairdoo more than once

Paste this in your browser. They list lesto/bosch blades

 

I can't get a picture of the Lesto/Bosch blades, but I'll bet they don't match what I need. Prolly not gonna find them. I'll trying for a bit, then toss the tool I suppose. I just hate tossin sumpin that still works

 

Drill and tap the shaft for a 6-32 screw and use a regular old skool blade.

 

First question is what brand saber saw/scroll saw are you using?

The blade looks like one of the newer bosch/milwaukee/porter cable quick release, but the 2 flats just don't look right.

Ace, Home Depot, Lowes all sell the Bosch style.

 

The one problem I foresee with replacing your blades with the current t-shank blades is how your particular saw "locks" the blade into place, that the notchout wouldn't aline correctly inside the shaft. The teeth on the blade will obviously be different depending on what material you're purchasing them for. (I personally buy ones with progressive teeth for splinterfree cuts in wood since I cut through 3/4" ACX for holiday displays.) Seriously, buy a couple different types and return the ones that didn't work, even if they're already opened, as long as you've got the receipt. I work for a major home improvement store and have seen some pretty torn up returns. We just send them back to the manufacturer for repackaging.

 

get a new saw and use that old one to power a air compressor.. the new ones are much lighter to hold and dont hurt your foot when ya drop it

 

have you tried MSC? try googling that, they have everything known to man as far as tool blades. also you could take a broken saw take off the blade clamp and modify that saw to fit it. then you can use modern blades. i like the older tools myself, just found an early 70's single speed dremel in a pawn shop for five bucks, still in the box,works better then my new one.
