Ron Johnson Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Good day Bill Check with any hardware outlet that carry rotary tools and accessories for them. I'm sure they have the size required and if not would be able to order one. I have the collet for these tiny drill bits but not the number size.

LarryEA Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 This info comes from 'Mini drill tool site: the following sizes:#80 (.0135") #70 (.0280") #71 (.0260") #61 (.0390") ... fit your hand drill, drill press your Dremel and Foredom tool with a 1/8" collet.

Were do you get these drill bits? I have been getting the jobber 118 Deg. drills and the shorter 135 degree split points but they all have the same size shank as the drill size.

I posted something I found in a search and I should have caught the shank and drill size bit. Sorry about that, please excuse my mistake in posting the above.

Sparkey Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Not sure which size but you should have four collets with the Dremel tool. I think it is the smallest one. If you don't have them then you can buy the four collet set at Lowes for around $6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multifasited Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Too much swapping around for me ,you can get a jacobs chuck that will take them all ,just another reason I extended the throat on my small drill press.

Fay Prozora Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have a set of different size collets for my Dremel and the drill bits that are made for the Dremel tool. So I use the size what will hold the drill bit I need to use. Used one last night to drill some entry holes for a fret work horse pattern. On line I found an angle guide for rotary tools and it will be here on Tuesday. It should come in handy for drilling an angle cut cutting out bowls and such. Good luck with your drill bits. I can never find any long enough. I need them a tad longer to go through the wood when I need to drill an angle. Take care.. Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
