Why use pinless blades over pinned?

[HantsHog]

Can anyone explain why pinless blades seem to be preferred over pinned ones?
Thanks

i think ( and i might be wrong ) is that you can only go down to a certain size with pinned blades and pinles you got more of a size range as for any other reason i dont know as never used pinned , years ago pinned was more popular whereas these days i think pinless machines seem to be the trend on more expensive machines

Try putting a pinned blade through a 2mm access hole.

I'm only a beginner at scroll/fret work but might it be that pinless blade will not go through smaller holes for pierced work?


^^^ Edit so it is so

With pin bladfes you are limited what patterns you can cut.
Most designers design patters for pin-less blades now.
Look at all the Christmas ornaments you can not make with a pin blade.
It takes a big hole for inside cuttings.
