The 1.6mm Mini Replacement Collet is a vital accessory for rotary tool users who require a balance of strength and precision for mid-range detailing. Specifically designed to secure 1.6mm shank bits, this collet provides an exceptionally tight and uniform grip. It is the perfect choice for hobbyists and craftsmen working on tasks that require slightly more torque than micro-bits, such as precision wood carving, light metal etching, and intricate plastic fabrication.
Durability and stability are the hallmarks of this replacement part. Each collet is precision-machined to ensure that your accessories remain perfectly aligned during high-speed rotation. By eliminating eccentric vibration, it protects your delicate workpieces from accidental marring and extends the lifespan of your bits. Whether you are using small sanding points or specialized engraving cutters, this collet ensures that every movement of your rotary tool is translated into a clean, accurate cut.
Installation is straightforward and fast, making it an ideal replacement for worn-out or lost factory collets. It is compatible with most standard mini rotary tools and hand-held grinders, seamlessly integrating into your existing kit. Whether you are a jewelry designer working on fine filigree or an electronics enthusiast drilling precision pilot holes, this 1.6mm collet ensures your tool remains as precise as your hands require.
How to use a Collet:
- Insert the collet into the tool shaft if not already installed.
- Place the collet nut over it — but do not tighten yet.
- Insert your bit or accessory shank.
- Hold the tool's shaft lock button.
- Tighten the collet nut using the collet wrench until firmly secured. Do not over-tighten — this can deform the collet.
The shank of the rotary cutter is securely locked in place by fitting it in the corresponding collet or making use of a keyless chuck.
Rotation speed:
Most rotary tools have the benefit to adjust the rotation speed. Many tool bits that fit in rotary tools have a maximum speed setting. This can normally be found on the packaging.
All materials react differently to speed and will need the tool bit to rotate slower. It is recommended to start using accessories on the slower speed first, before increasing the speed as needed.
The diameter of the tool bit fitted also determines the rotation speed. The larger the diameter, the slower the speed. If the speed is set too high, it could bend the shank/shaft resulting in injury.
