Verifying Jigsaw Shank & Blade Compatibility
Modern North American jigsaws from DEWALT, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, and RYOBI 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 US 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 20V MAX XR DCS334B or Makita 18V LXT XVJ03Z pair exceptionally well with thin-kerf bi-metal blades that minimize motor draw while preserving battery runtime.
