toilets

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" and 3/32" collets

included with your tool accommodate all of the available Craftsman accessories.

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.

Screw Mandrel No. 53089

This is a screw mandrel used with the felt polishing tip and felt polishing wheels.

Small Screw Mandrel No. 25028

This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip, and is used with emery cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels.

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.

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.

Small 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. Needs 3/32" collet.

Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones

Round, pointed, flat --you name the shape and there is one available in this category. These are made of aluminum oxide and cover

virtually every possible kind of grinding application. Use them for sharpening lawn mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives, scissors, chisels and other cutting tools. Use to remove flash from metal castings, deburring any metal after cutting, smoothing welded joints, grinding off rivets and removing rust. In machine shops, high speed drills and cutters normally are ground with aluminum oxide wheels.
