COLLETS
If you expect to use a variety
of accessories, we recom-
mend that in the beginning
you purchase a complete set
of four collets. Store these so
that you will have the proper
size of collet for any accesso-
ry or drill bit you want to use.
Currently,
the
1/8",
3/32",1/32" and 1/16" col-
lets accommodate all of the
avail able
Dremel
acces-
sories.
1/8"
collets
are
included in most rotary tool
kits.
MANDRELS
A mandrel is a shank with a
threaded
or
screw
head,
which are required when you
use polishing accessories, cut-
ting wheels, sanding discs,
and pol ish ing points. The rea-
son mandrels are used is that
sanding discs, cutting wheels
and similar accesso ries must
be replaced frequently. The
mandrel is a per manent shank,
allowing you to replace only
the worn head when neces-
sary, thus saving the expense
of replacing the shaft each
time.
Screw Mandrel No 401
This is a screw mandrel used
with the felt polishing tip and
felt polishing wheels. 1/8"
shank.
Carving Bits
Available in many shapes,
carving bits are used in carv-
ing, cutting and slotting in
wood, plastics and soft met-
als such as aluminum, copper
and brass. These are the
accessories to use for free-
hand routing or carving in
wood or plastic, and for pre-
cision cutting. Made of high
quality steel. 1/8" shank.
Tungsten Carbide Carving
Bits
These are tough, long-lived
cutters for use on hard ened
steel, fired ceramics and
other very hard ma terials.
They can be used for engrav-
ing on tools and garden
equipment. 1/8" shanks.
