Pro Tip: Buyer tip: Trailing suffixes strictly indicate whether the tool is "bare tool" (body only) or a complete kit with batteries and hard case. Checking this avoids costly mistakes.

Verifying Jigsaw Shank & Blade Compatibility

Modern British and European jigsaws from Bosch, Makita, DEWALT, Milwaukee, and Festool feature keyless tool-free T-shank chucks. Bosch references prefixed with "T" (e.g., T 101 B, T 144 D) utilize this universal standard. The Bosch U 118 B uses a U-shank (universal 1/4 in.) requiring set-screw or legacy collets.

Scroll saw blades like Dremel Moto-Saw MS52 and MS53 feature pin-end retainers designed exclusively for the MS20 compact benchtop saw and will not lock into standard handheld jigsaw chucks.

Recommended Pairings for Popular UK Jigsaws

For the Bosch JS470E corded top-handle jigsaw, standard T 101 B and T 144 D blades provide benchmark cabinet-grade performance. Cordless models such as the DEWALT 18V XR DCS334B or Makita 18V LXT XVJ03Z pair exceptionally well with thin-kerf bi-metal blades that minimize motor draw while preserving battery runtime.
