Dremel Collets

[Warstud]

I accidentally bought a 5/32 bit for the Dremel that doesnt fit . Box says Collet capacity is 1/32 - 1/8 . Can I buy a bigger Collet and if so.....what size ?

They have four sizes: 1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8.

I bought some cheap rotary wood.rasps which were slightly too large for 1/8" standard. Collett, and the drill like chuck i learned to prefer.
I Used dremel and barrell sander to.reduce shaft diameter just enough to fit.
Was not much impressed with rotary rasp performance.

Get the dremel 90 degree head attachment. Wear out its bearings with u balanced bits and too much side pressure. Also yields increased control and precision.

Which Dremel rotary bit do you have that's 5/32 ?
All the Dremel rotary bits that I've ever seen are all 1/8.

I have this on both of mine (corded and cordless), no issues in daily use. I snug it with pliers not just finger tight.

Even tho it fits up to 1/8 bit have you tried a 5/32 bit ?

No but I will tonight, I forgot that is 3.8mm?

I have an old 395 Type I. Other than motor brushes (I can use late model brushes as long as I swap the springs) and accessories, motor parts are hard to source. I pick up trashed Type I's for parts when ever I see them on the used market. The brush holders seem to the most vulnerable to breakage.

I checked the Dremel branded one and it is just a hair too small.

I tend to replace my Dremel chucks with these "universal" types. I don't think I have any 5/32" bits but I recall they open larger than my 1/8" bits easily.
