Can anyone tell me which blades will fit the new 18 volt Ridgid cordless jigsaw?? And where can I find some?

For cutting wood, try the Bosch Series T234 Progressor blades. They're excellent. You can find them at Home Depot or most any other place that sells Bosch blades.

I tried those, they didnt fit in the jigsaw I have

The Ridgid saws use the T blades. Very difficult to get seated when new but they do fit. It will ease up ofter a few blade changes.

When I first got my jigsaw, not a Ridgid, I had troublt getting the blades to seat in the saws blade holder mechanism. However, as Dan said, after a time the blade holder mechanism will loosen up a bit and the installation becomes very easy. Those Bosch Progressor blades will fit in your Ridgid jigsaw but will probably take a little extra hard final push for a little while.
