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^^

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.

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!
