Dremel Accessories
Use only Dremel
performance accessories that
are 2" or less in daimeter and rated at least WARNING
35,000/min. Other accessories are not designed
for this tool and may lead to personal injury or
property damage.
The number and variety of accessories for the
Rotary Tool are almost limitless. There is a
category suited to almost any job you might have
to do — and a variety of sizes and shapes within
each category which en ables you to get the perfect
accessory for every need.
COLLETS
If you expect to use a variety of accessories, we
recommend 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
accessory or drill bit you want to use. Currently,
the 1/8", 3/32",1/32" and 1/16" collets
accommodate all of the avail able Dremel
accessories. 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, cutting wheels, sanding discs, and
pol ish ing points. The reason mandrels are used is
that sanding discs, cutting wheels and similar
, high-
®
accesso ries must be replaced frequently. The
mandrel is a per manent shank, allowing you to
replace only the worn head when necessary, thus
saving the expense of replacing the shaft each
time.
