Where to find a tiny screw for a Dremel?

[rinners]

I sheared the head off the screw that holds the cutting disk onto the shaft.

I'm not sure I think it's 1.6mm, no idea what thread pattern though.

not using the new cutting disc mandrel?

probably in your best interest, financially, to maybe go look for one of those kits at Builders perhaps

Thanks, didn't know about it. This looks to be cheapest.

Sucks because that's as much as I paid for the Dremel 4000 and bits =/ But I guess it's the main tool I would use so might be worth it. Do those discs hold up a lot better? I went through a bunch on the last project.

Or might just get this for R125, but it looks like it might also use the screw type.

ah yes those

the new ones do hold up a bit longer, but I must admit that the new mandrel thing does have me worries every now and then

it tends to make the disc "wobble" a bit or at least, when you have machine on full, you can sense that it's as if the disc is a bit loose (not that it is though)

but yeah, definitely better for cutting than the old ones.... I usually do my 2mm steel runs with it

Ok, interesting, gyroscopic forces.

So I found these which I'll use for the remainder of the discs then maybe I'll switch to that key'ed mandrel.

I just hope I still have those little gaskets, they probably went flying when the head came off.

HI

You can get the entire shaft very cheaply from the dealers.

If you are in durban. The dealer in pinetown is excellent. Warranty claims are a breeze.

There are directly off the M19 as you get to pinetown from durban

I can post thread pitch and direction tomorrow if that helps
