When I had my old saw....now gone to a better place....it had the type of blades that were flat and held in with a pinch block.  I could only buy the type that had the little pins, so I just took a hammer and knocked them out.  They came out easy as pie.  Maybe this helps? H^^

Brother Gil,

You *might* find blades that will work at Lowes.  I do not have a Dremel, but did find *generic* blades that work perfect.  Mine needed to be smooth on the ends with out pins.

I forgot to mention....the blades I bought were also too long, so I just snapped them off at the length I needed them and they worked fine.  Lot cheaper than the actual Dremel blades too. H^^

 If they're the short 3" or whatever with the pins on each end like mine uses, the actual Dremel brand is all I've ever found.

 Wayne, that is almost an exact replica of the one that I have, it is probably 35-40 yrs old, and still works.

Just to be sure, you guys know there is a feature on that saw allowing you to raise the table so you're moving to a fresh/sharp part of the blade?

Just checking!

 Mine's got a LOT of miles on it and still runs like new. ;D

I've had to rebuild mine a couple of times.   And Ace Hardware is where I get my blades.
