New to buy collets for Proxxon TBM 115,

Bought it second hand, it had one collet but it will not fit my diamond core drill bits I use in my dremel, and I can't use the dremel collets as they don't fit in the chuck (nor sure that is what it is called), searched on Amazon, etc, and found a set of collets but they specifically say they fit all Micromot.....

The rotary tool set collar will not grab the bits. I have never used the drill master previously. what am I doing wrong?

This photo is from a Dremel (not Drill Master) but it should be similar. Your tool may have different size collets that take different size diameter shaft bits. You may have the wrong collet (collar) for the bit you want to use.
If your tool only has one size collet then there could be debris stuck in the collet slits which prevent the collet from compressing down on the shaft bit when the top nut is tightened. And sometimes it just takes more torque on the nut that screws over the collet to really tighten it down on the shaft

I do not know how to change to bit in my dremel rotary 7.2v tool

it is easy, you may find first time that it will not be so, but if you follow advice, it will become even more easy.

1. switch off motor
2. unplug from power
3. find button on the base close to rotating bit, press and hold, this is shaft lock which if applied correctly (you may need to rotate shaft a bit till it fully engage) will stop shaft from rotating
4. apply small spanner (provided with set) to collet collar (collet have two indentations fitting perfectly little spanner)
5. if shaft is held up, turn spanner anticlockwise, then use your hand to undo collar completely
6. remove collet and bit - separate bit from collet
7. collet comes in many sizes, select correct size for new bit
8. insert collet into throat
9. lightly screw in collar
10, insert new bit, at least 2/3 of the bit shank must be inserted into the collet!
11. held shaft lock button pressed
12 hand tighten the collar till bit is locked firmly in place
13. do not use spanner to tighten! if collar do not held properly, re-tighten by hand only!
14. wear always glasses when operating dremmel, or any other rotating machinery, it is not a toy! and exploding bit will penetrate not only your bit of woo, or metal but your eye as well... and your have only two and no spares...

if you find my advice useful, please do not hesitate to vote4 for me, or leave comment, or both... thanx!

Can't unscrew collet

it is possible that you stripped lock mechanism on the collet, for the beginning, never, ever, use wrench to tighten the collet! just hand tied, if it slips, tight it bit more, but with hands only.

i never used wrench on the collet and never have any trouble with any of my dremels.

to close, just hold firmly in one hand pressing locket button, tighten up with other hand, to undo, reverse procedure.

if you find bit is too lose, then you have collet inserts, find that one which hold bit firmly and use it on this particular bit. standard collet is 1/8" (3.175mm), but in the set there are collets from 0.0394'' (1mm) to 0.177" (4.5mm). do not use wrench...

just inspect now if thread is not stripped, on spindle and on collar, if locket still hold, if these are damaged, you need to change damaged part. and follow the advice :-)

if you find this advice useful, pleasae do not hesitate leave your remark and vote4 for me, thanx!

My Dremel lock nut won't budge. My collet is stuck! How can I loosen the bit?

You'll need to use either the built in shaft lock to hold the collet in a fixed position, or use a pair of slip joint pliers to hold the shaft of the bit, while you use the wrench to loosen the collet. Slow and steady should get it loose. Another option is use some penetrating oil sprayed lightly onto the back of the collet to help loosen it from the shaft etc.

Dremel 395 in the middle of drilling sea glass and the collet and bit stop turning while the motor is still running fine! GRRRRR Thanks for any suggestions!

sounds like the rubber connector between the motor and collet.i use rubber tubing and hot glue to keep it working. bad news is you have to disassemble it to install a new connector.

Collet base removal

Try using a tapered wood screw or sheet metal screw as an extractor. Choose one of a size that will let its tip go down into the broken collet and get a grip when you twist it. If that fails, you might use a screw extraction tool.
