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 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.
