Can't figure this this out! I just got Dremel 7300-PT 4.8-Volt Pet Grooming Kit in the mail and I absolutely cannot fit the drum sander into the collet nut! What am I doing wrong? It seems way to small. I have both 1/4" and 1/2" sanders, but either of them sit on a wider pole than what could possibly fit into the collet nut. So what do I do and how do I make it work!?

You hold the blue button down, do not let up, continue holding down and unscrew collet nut from the unit. After removing it, place it back on unit but do not tighten, leave very loose. Put tool with sander into silver thing still in unit as far as will go. Next tighten black collet nut and you should be ready to roll. Hope this helps someone!

The Assembly instructions state: "To loosen collet nut, first press shaft lock button and rotate the collet nut by hand untill the lock engages the shaft preventing further rotation. Do not engage lock while the tool is running. Loosen the collet nut by hand and insert accessory as far as possible to minimize unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged, finger tighten the collet nut until the accessory shank is gripped by the collet. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut whne there is no bit interted." The shaft lock button is blue, oblong and located near top of tool. Hope this helps!

Sounds like the hole is at the lower end of allowed tolerance. Easiest is to return it and get a replacement. If it goes on the spindle but is too tight and you don't want to return it then its likely only a thou or two undersize and a bit of gentle work with an engineers scraper or even a bit of fine emery will take off enough to let it fit smoothly. Any machine shop should have a 5/8" reamer. My saw has a 20mm spindle so I had a local saw shop machine it out to fit that.

ok you got two possibility's hear # 1 you got a bad motor and yes iv heard of this happening because the sander's are not made in the USA \ # 2 you have got the adjustment tension for the belt wayyyy to tight with the sanding belt on so it put's wicked strain on the motor # 3 you may want to try a heaver belt grit

You may have cleaned the brush bar also called the beater bar recently and placed the bar in wrong. The grey plastic part that fixes the brush in place on the end of the bar has one side that is longer than the other side. The longer side should be toward the vacuum motor while the rounded part should be placed the other way. There doesn't seem to be much information on this on the web. I had to take my machine in to a Dyson repair person to show me why it wasn't adjusted correctly. I hope this helps.David

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

NO - Probably a little late for you. I bought the 73333 Dust collector for my existing 7346sp sander/polisher. The dust collector hood is too small for the 6" sander. The ring that clamps the hood down is too small for the round cylinder it has to mount to. Probably less than 1/16th" too small on the hood clamp, but then the outer diameter is also too small to surround the 6" pad. I would bet it works great on the 5" random orbital sanders.I did find another hood piece available on-line. I may just keep the smaller hood and pick up a second smaller sander. But this combination does not work. NO - Probably a little late for you. I bought the 73333 Dust collector for my existing 7346sp sander/polisher.

Frankly, it took me a few trys (and maybe a couple of dirty words!) to figure this out. The larger attachment with the smaller end fits on the wand of my vac. I then take the clear rubber hose and put the end w/o the black adapter on the small end of that. Then any of the little tools will fit on the black adapter of the clear hose. I got this to vac my sewing machine out after a big project and really like it. I think it does a great job! (with and without dirty words!)

I am using the brown sanding belt attachment that came in the kit. I believe there are three or so of those. Beginning on a low speed, after the dog adjusts, I can use the higher revolution for quicker trimming. Also, use some pressure against the nail and it works so much faster. Just beware the paw hair!!!

I had no problem with ours......I read the instructions and did what I supposed to (that's a change for me) Our machine is a Brother 9560 CDW so maybe you have the wrong Drum?

I went to the site and it said most handles are interchangeable. Have you tried to use your green handle on the giant Lint roller? You have to use some force to remove an empty roller and force to get the new giant roller on the handle. I have two or three handles 2 black, one green I'm sure one of the handles held a giant roller and it looks just like all the other handles.Take your empty roller and hold it up against a giant roll. If the area above the actual handle(the part that holds the refill) looks to be the same length as your giant roll chances are it will fit. Give it a try,remember you will have to use some force to jam the refill on you green handle. Good Luck I went to the site and it said most handles are interchangeable.

Go to the Ariens site and look up your machine. You should be able to find the P/N of the blade.My machine is a 2002 model, 24" wide and this blade fit it perfectly! Be sure your carriage bolts are in good shape as the blade has square holes to keep the (carriage) bolts from turning when tightening..... or loosening. My machine had a "bulged" housing from picking up a large rock that got wedged between the housing & the auger-blades. I had to straighten the housing to get a "straight" mounting surface on the housing. BTW, Duplicolor makes their # DE1620 Chevy orange that matches the Ariens orange if you need a cheaper touch up spray paint. Go to the Ariens site and look up your machine.

Mark I will answer your question, though as I have in the past with no avail as Amazon often will not print my very to the point, concise, answers. Perhaps they dislike my candor or honesty, regardless, like nearly all products with the name Dremel on the side, it is very overpriced and the quality is amazingly poor. Yes, this will make a groove in a small channel, but the depth you set it to will be off by 1/5 - 1/4 of an inch regardless of how much effort you put into trying to get this -typical- Dremel accessory to function as it should, as it could but does not. I fabricate polymers almost daily and stopped using Dremel products. How can you justify a 99$ rotary tool? It is a motor, with a place to attach bits... Tools do not get much more simple, I digress. In summation, if you need a beating headache and have money to waste, this is perfect for your needs. Dremel, please invest some effort in your tools, my "new" Wen was 29$ and has been running for longer than any of yours. Put the faith back into American made, stop coasting by with your name only.

Suggest try tapping on end of the saw head housing - this should relieve pressure on collet and allow removal of the complete saw housing head. Of icourse this assumes you have unscrewed the black plastic nut on the saw head housing.

Not necessarily defective. It could be the backing pad you are using. There are three available, soft, medium, and hard. The unit comes with the medium. I bought the hard and soft pads as well. Hard pad is for flat surfaces, fast removal. . Soft pad for items that may have contours . Most sanders will have the same issue as yours. I just change the pad to fit the surface I am working with. I was sanding primer off some 4x4 cedar posts; started off with the hard pad, but found the soft to do a better job. Dry a different backing pad. Easy to change with an allen wrench.

So from the top - unplug the dremel, push and hold the metal pin to lock it. Twist the black metal piece, the collet nut (you might need a wrench if its tight) and then to remove the collet, which is what I believe you are asking about - I just grab mine with my fingers and twist it out. You could use pliers but its soft metal (ideally you won't need it anymore I guess) I hope this helps.
