Please can someone tell me if this saw takes pinless blades?

I know it is only entry level. From reading quite a few posts at least 2 people have been pleased with it. Thanks

Hi Rich
try the sip website, I think it takes both blade types, you could contact sip or even check flea bay to see if any on sale there gives more info

It does take both but it is a bit awkward getting pinless blades to hold, the holding clamps are painfully awkward, i have had one for quite a few months now and i am still fiddling with different ways to use pinless blades, i am getting there and it won't bloody beat me in the end lol, other than that i found the saw quite reasonable for the price after all its just a hobby for me and good enough for what i want to do!

regards Ted.....

Thank you Ted.
I had made my mind up yesterday to buy the sip today whether it was right or wrong.
Then a change of plan today. So might buy it Friday now.
