Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a mandrel used for on a rotary tool?
  A mandrel is a shaft that connects to a rotary tool's collet. It holds accessories like cutting discs and sanding discs that do not have their own shank. Discs slot onto the mandrel head and are secured with a screw, allowing the tool to drive them at speed.

• What are resinoid cutting discs used for?
  Resinoid cutting discs are abrasive wheels bonded with phenolic resin and reinforced with fibreglass mesh. They cut a range of materials at high rotary speed, including metals, plastics, and wood. The bond type affects cutting performance and how the abrasive wears during use.

• Are rotary tool accessories compatible across different brands?
  Most rotary tool accessories with a 3.17mm (1/8") shank are compatible across brands. The 1/8" shank is a standard industry size. Most rotary tools accept these accessories through their collet system, making multi-brand use straightforward.

• What materials can a diamond cutting disc cut?
  Diamond cutting discs suit hard, brittle materials. They are commonly used for cutting glass, ceramics, and tile - materials that quickly wear a standard abrasive disc.

• What safety precautions should you take when using rotary tool cutting accessories?
  Wear eye protection when using any cutting or sanding disc - these accessories produce fragments and debris at high speed. Clamping the workpiece securely before starting also reduces the risk of it moving during cutting.
