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 accessory or drill bit you want to use. Currently, the 1/8", 3/32",1/32" and 1/16" collets accommodate all of the available 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 acces- sories, 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 permanent shank, allowing you to replace only the worn head when necessary, 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.
Small Screw Mandrel No. 402
This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip, and is used with emery and fiberglass cutting wheels, sand- ing discs and polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.
Threaded Tip Mandrel No. 424
This is a mandrel with a threaded tip which threads into the polishing point accessory No. 427. 1/8" shank.

Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown)

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. These grinding stones can be resharped with a dressing stone. In machine shops, high speed drills and cutters normally are ground with aluminum oxide wheels. 1/8" shank.
