WARNING
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 enables you to get
the perfect accessory for every need.
Refer to the DREMEL ACCESSORY ORDER
FORM for illustrations of the accessories
available. These accessories may be found
at your local hardware, hobby or home
center dealers.
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.
High Speed Cutters
Available in many shapes, high speed cutters
are used in carving, cutting and slotting in
wood, plastics and soft metals such as
aluminum, copper and brass. These are the
accessories to use for freehand routing or
carving in wood or plastic, and for precision
cutting. Made of high quality steel. 1/8" shank.
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
These are tough, long-lived cutters for use on
hardened steel, fired ceramics and other very
hard materials. They can be used for
engraving on tools and garden equipment. 1/8"
shanks.

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 polishing points. The reason
mandrels are used is that sanding discs,
cutting wheels and similar accessories 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.
Screw Mandrel N° 401
This is a screw mandrel used with the felt
polishing tip and felt polishing wheels. 1/8"
shank.
Small Screw Mandrel N° 402
This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip,
and is used with emery and fiberglass cutting
wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels.
1/8" shank.
Engraving Cutters
This group has a wide variety of sizes and
shapes, and are made for intricate work on
ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewelry
and scrimshaw. They often are used in making
complicated printed circuit boards. They
should not be used on steel and other very
hard materials but are excellent on wood,
plastic and soft metals. 3/32" shank.
Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters
Fast cutting, needle-sharp teeth for greater
material removal with minimum loading. Use
on fiberglass, wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber.
1/8" shank.
