Blades for Ryobi DC500 carver

[Will Armstrong]

I have acquired a Ryobi dc500 reciprocating power Carver, but have no blades.
Does anyone know for certain which Flex cut blades will fit, without an adapter? My research has come up with conflicting answers whether the SK or RG series will work without an adapter.

I use flex cut blades without any adaptor. They will fi e.

Thanks John. Do you know if they are the RG series blades?

Will, I just took a look at the set of 4 that I bought a few years and they are Flexcut RG404. They're too large for detail work but Flexcut also makes a set for detail carving, RG310, that are smaller. My RG404 set works well in my Ryobi carver.

edit... I also see they make an adapter that will hold the SK tools https://www.amazon.com/Flexcut-Universal-Adapter-Entire-Carving/dp/B000ZRZQFC?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Or you can go all out and get this set... https://www.amazon.com/Flexcut-RG10...luxe/dp/B001UZ15OY?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

That's all great information! Thanks Curt.
