Dremel Accessories

!WARNING Use only Dremel Tested, High Performance Accessories. 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.

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.

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.

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 carv- ing 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 hard- ened steel, fired ceramics and other very hard ma- terials. They can be used for engraving on tools and garden equipment. 1/8" shanks.

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" and 1/4" shank.

Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown)

Round, pointed, flat — you name the shape and there is one available in this category. These are made of alu- minum 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. 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.

Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones (blue/green)

Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made especially for use on hard materials such as glass and ceramics. Typical uses might be the removal of stilt marks and excess glaze on ceramics and engraving on glass. 1/8" shank.

Diamond Wheel Points

Excellent for fine detail work on wood, jade, ceramic, glass and other hard material. Bits are covered with diamond particles. 3/32" shanks.
