I have a Dremel 395 type 2 and need a nylon coupling from the motor to the spindle (internal splines at both ends of a plastic tube). Where can I buy one?
I have a Dremel 395 type 3 that has the same problem that is a damged silastic flexible coupling between the motor and output shaft. Is the coupling the same as for the type 2?I have a Dremel 395 type 3 that has the same problem that is a damged silastic flexible coupling between the motor and output shaft.

REFERENCE M/N: 395 - Type 3 - Dremel does not have the parts listing on their site for some reason. I actually have the original I saved from 1988! The part number for the Nylon Coupler is: Illustration Code Number: 5 Description: Flex Coupling Part Number: 529430970
This is all from Drawing (Form) Number:5296074 10-88
I found that if you get a plastic drinking straw of the right diameter(I used a .3 in outside diameter) and cut off a one inch piece, it will slide over the splines with enough friction to drive the shaft. I added a little Goop(a rubbery adhesive you can buy in a tube) in each end of the straw for extra grip. I haven't used the unit a lot since I fixed it, so I can't comment on longevity of the repair. But if it doesn't last too long, straws are cheap.

You can order one through dremel.com or ebay. I happen to have one as well. Harbor frieght has roto tools for around twenty bucks that will fit dremel tools as well.
Hi Larry,
The tool that you require parts for was discontinued many years ago. Limited parts are available from Dremel.
Inside the tool is a flex coupling and spline driver.
The flex coupling is # 2615294309 and the price is about $ 1.25.
This is the hollow plastic sleeve about 1" long with grooves on the inside, that goes between the motor shaft and the output shaft.
The spline driver is # 2615294308 for about $ 1.00.
Spline driver sits on the direct end of the motor shaft. The flex coupling sits over the spline driver. Spline driver is about 1/4", hard plastic with grooves on the outside.
Total shipping for orders under $ 5.00 is $ 2.50. Orders over $5.00 is $ 4.00. There could be a tax charge depending on which state you live in.
Here is how to order:

The part that goes between the motor and the chuck is called the CLUTCH UNIT, REF 2615294309 it is a splined rubberised sleeve, it also fits the 276 and 396. The price is £3.69 (including vat at17.5%) and can be obtained from Jaymac (Derby) Ltd. http://www.dremel-direct.com/acatalog/service.html
I called Dremmel tech support FOR FREE and they told me what was broken - flex coupling between shaft and spindle. Only Dremmel model 395 type 2 and 3 have these couplings. Mailed out repair kit yesterday.
Here's the email from I got from Dremel (in my case the flex coupling broke):

My 15 year old Dremel 395 had the same problem so I took it apart. There is a plastic spline between the motor and the output shaft to the chuck . My plastic spline was split and had many of its teeth sheared off. The shaft lock acts on the output shaft side of this spline, so it was ok. Otherwise everything looked great; bearings ran free & had little play free, brushes ok. To be fair, my Dremel had seen hard use & doesn't owe me anything. No luck so far finding replacement spline parts, which if available should be easy to install. To take apart your tool, just google "Dremel Disassembly". GOOD LUCK!
there is a coupling between the motor and the spindle that has probably cracked or stripped out. I suggest going to Dremel.com and getting an original replacement part for this. They are not hard to install.
I have a Dremel 395 Type 3. Motor works fine, shaft doesn't turn. Took it apart to find that the white plastic or nylon flex coupling on the shaft had crumbled and the spline driver, which fits directly over the motor end of the shaft was somewhat worn. I emailed Dremel and got an overnight reply listing the 2 parts I need and the cost: Coupling is $1.00 and the driver is $1.25. Placed order by phone: 1-800-437-3635. I ordered 2 of each in case future replacement is needed. Total bill came to $7.27 including Florida tax and shipping. Can't beat that. They said it would be in the mail by tonight. (Flex coupling number is 2615294309; spline driver is 2615294308.) Rating Locked! (?) lexrehabtech has rated this solution as Helpful
