toilets
Ifyou 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 isa per-
manent shank, allowing you to replace only
the worn head when necessary, thus saving
the expense of replacing the shaft.

High Speed Cutters

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

very hard materials but are excellent on wood,
plastic and soft metals. Needs 3/32" collet.
Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones

and there is one available inthis 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.
