Any 5" will do. Pins can be removed from coping saw blades.

Not "any" 5", coping saw blades. My coping saw blades have loops not pins.

Because the Jig Saw is designed differently than the Scroll Saw it cannot use blades designed to cut in both the up and down stroke like a Scroll Saw can. You should only use blades designed to cut in a single direction which for the Jig Saw is the down stroke. The finer the blade the more easily it can be bent in a Jig Saw so use caution.
