Porter cable multi tool blades on a Dewalt multi tool

[jevink]

Will  the porter cable  quick change  blades  fit on the dewalt quick change  system  without  modification?

yep

*Edit: I was wrong, PC blades will not work on the Dewalt Tools Tool Free system. you'd have to use the screw attachment.

I would have to argue that as a No……

I am in the UK, and although you can fit any blade, from any manufacturer onto the bottom of the Dewalt via the 'secondary' blade attachment system, on the 'primary' quick release blade change I am positive that it's only the Dewalt blades that fit..

I am not sure why the US and the UK variants might be different, so I would double check that..

Dremel has a few blades that have a similar shape to the Dewalt blades.

only fits with adapter that comes with until.  Its very similar to porter cable but not the same

So I live in Kelowna, BC.  Back in October I ordered my DW315K out of Vancouver.  It is a tool that is very versatile and I have used it often.  But I need blades!

It was only just recently that a local place started stocking the DW315K but no replacement blades - Summit Tools.  Rona, Home Hardware, Home Depot, and KMS Tools still no dice.

Right now I am in Calgary to visit family and friends.  I stopped by a couple Home Depots, Lowes, KMS Tools and none of them carry the tool and obviously not the blades.  WTF?  Lowes does carry the Porter Cable tool and blades though.

Heading to Edmonton in a couple days for one week.  I have a feeling I will be out of luck there too unless someone knows something I don't.

Lowe has a 3 blade accessory kit for dc315 but Acme.com carries them all

yep

Then Why does it say on the Porter Cable PCE605 manual :  Compatible with Dewalt universal fitment??

[Gatorb8881393434512]

The porter cable PCE605 accepts the Dewalt blades. But you can't put porter cable blades in the Dewalt tool free system.

So I am here in Edmonton.  No luck on Dewalt blades here either.  I find it odd that the big box stores and specialty tool stores in 2 major Canadian cities (Calgary and Edmonton) do not stock the Dewalt multi-tools and replacement blades.

I did see the Porter-Cable blades at Lowe's however.  So the holes in the blades for the "teeth" are round for Porter-Cable and rectangular for the Dewalt.  This is probably why GATORB made his claim.  I for one will not buy a pack of Porter-Cable blades just to verify his claim.

I guess I will have to procure them online somewhere.
