    New Bosch Extra Clean Jigsaw Blades

    Does anyone know where I can get the new Bosch T308B jigsaw blades? Amazon says 1 to 2 months shipping. I checked my local blue & orange borgs with no success. I'd prefer a brick & mortar store, but the internet would do to. I'd really like to give these a try on the project I'm working on.
    Thanks.

    Google is your friend. How about this outfit? I know zero about them or if they have them in stock.

    Yeah, I tried google the other day and they seem to be the only ones that have them. The other stores I found on google seem to be linked to amazon.com, so I'm not sure they'd have them either. I know nothing about Ohio Powertool either, but maybe I'll email them and see if they are in stock.

    I don't have any experience with their new clean cut blades, but their older Bosch T234X blades cut as smooth as most table saws.

    I got my response from Ohio Powertool: Nope. I can preorder them though.

    Lee, I think I may have one of those blades and will give it a try.

    I had a feeling that would be Ohio Powertool's response! I wonder how long before stores are stocked with them?

    Brian -

    I am with Lee on this one. These cut great.

    The progresor listed here do cut great but this new "Extra clean" blade is touted in several magazines as being the one that will cause you to throw the others out!
    I guess we will see once folks are able to buy them.

    I just bought a 5-pack at lowes for $13. If I hit Lowes again this weekend I can pick you up a set. I just used them Thursday to finish cutting my through sink. Cut is perfect.

  10. I'm going down to Ohio (from Canada) for Thanksgiving. I ordered 3 packs (15 blades) from Ohio Tool a couple of days ago and they accepted my order and verified by email. I think I'll give them a call and find out whether there's going to be a delay in shipment.

    Regards,

    Ron

    I'll have to check Lowes again. I have been known to look right at things and not see them Maybe I'll even ask someone there if they have them

    Got mine at lowes. Had many, many in stock. Have yet to use them, but have had excellent results with other Bosch jigsaw blades. Not sure if this helps but good luck!

    Got mine at HD. Two different sizes. Just try it on 3/4" plywood - cut very clean.

    I've read about them, but haven't tried them yet. Bosch already had the "best" jigsaw blades on the market. I'll have to try the new ones out.

    Well, I went to Lowes today, and they had 2 packages - one in the proper spot, one in the wrong spot. I don't know if I just missed them earlier, or they really weren't there. Could be I just overlooked the empty spots because the product numbers were in extremely tiny print.
    Anyway, I got a pack, and had a chance to try it out and compare it to the Progressor blade that Lee suggested. These new blades cut cleaner in some 3/4 walnut I had, but it wasn't what I'd call a night and day difference. I would have no problem with using either of them, but I'd have less clean-up with the Extra Clean blades. Take a look at the pictures:
