thank you! I've watched so many videos on how to get the jaws open on my chuck bit and your video was the only one that was helpful. I ended up using a razor blade to open the jaws! thank you so much because I was going to return my Dremmel 4300. It was the first time I've ever tried using it.
Glad to have helped. But do consider the multi chuck. So much simpler. Dave
Just came here from your reply to my comment on the other Dremel video, and this definitely does seem like a quicker solution. Thanks for clearing that up!
It just makes life so much simpler. About £10 well spent. Dave
Thanks for the clear instructions! I thought I knew Dremels from using my father's growing up, and was kicking myself in the head wondering why I couldn't change accessories!
Thanks. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching. Dave
Thanks mate! I obviously overtightened mine at some point and couldn’t work out how to get the collet out. Problem solved thanks to your vid.
Glad to help. Dave
Very helpful! Thank you! I couldn't get the collet out at first. I took your advise....I went to the hardware store and purchased the upgrade! Much better!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching. Dave
Do you experience having the multi chuck getting stuck? I had quite a number of instances wherein after using the tool, I can't unscrew / loosen the multi chuck. I think that the multi chuck gets tighter as the tool spins, and when Im finished, the force needed to unscrew the multi chuck exceeds the force I can apply to the shaft lock button.
So what I end up doing is to grip the shaft lock button and the whole Dremel body with a channel-lock pliers, then I can wrench the multi chuck loose.
As a result, the rubberized part of my Dremel's body is pretty banged-up due to the use of pliers to hold the shaft button with more force.
Any insights?
Honestly, I've never had a problem with any of them. But I am careful not to over tighten them, usually finger tight is enough for simple polishing. Thanks for watching. Dave
Yup, same thing happens to me (hence why I'm here.) And it's not rust; I loosened and tightened it just 2 days ago.
I have since had this same thing happen an only finger tighten the multi chuck an then absolutely could not get it back off my dremel I had used an vise an Channel locks an still couldn't remove it I ended up having to take my dremel apart was soo p-ed off an dremel didn't do shit I feel there's a faulty design somewhere in the making of this.. Thanks for confirming I'm not the only one this has happened to..
Wow buddy thank you so much! You saved me bucks as I was gonna buy new collets thinking they supplied the wrong one. How crazy!
A little knowlege goes a long way. Happy to have helped.Dave
Excellent. Answered my search "will 4486 chuck fit dremel 7760". Susscribed. Cheers.
Welcome! Dave
Excellent addition o your Dremel Micro Video. Thank you Dave. Love your work Mate!
Thank you. Glad to have helped. Dave
THANK YOU! Subscribing just because of this video. I felt insane when I couldn't fit the accessories into my brand new dremel! xD
Thanks I have a few Dremel videos, check out this one. Dave czcams.com/video/fIgFjGdl-iU/video.html
Bless you, Dave! You're a genius at explaining things!
Thank you kindly! Happy to help. Dave
WowWow! Thanks, I was so annoyed with my new Dremel. NOW I can use it! THANK YOU
Glad to have helped. Dave
Thank you so much! Have been trying to figure out how to get my 395 multitool to accept the polishing mop head for 24 hours!! Bought a multi collet this afternoon & couldn't figure out how to fit it!! Your vid is so clear I've finally been able to understand how it all works!! Thank you so much! 😃
Highly informative, kudos to you my man!
Thanks. Dave
Got to make sure you have the right collet install. Here in the US the right collet, providing others didn't come with your tool, is 1/8".
The standard Dremel accessories are a little larger shanks than professional professional Jewellers accessories. Hence the multi chuck is much simpler solution allowing you to use anything. Thanks for watching. Dave
Exactly the help I needed. Thank you
You're welcome. Dave
For those unaware the chuck takes a 3/8" wrench. Much easier and more leverage than the little tool that comes with the Dremel.
Thanks for that ! Dave
The Collett is stuck in the Nut. Really like your videos.
unscrew the nut and tap it, point down on a flat surface. That should knock it back out. Dave
Hi there, thanks so much!!! I thought I was a complete idiot!! You’ve saved the day! Thanks mate!! Subbed!
Glad to have helped. Do get the multi chuck, though, So much easier and worth the few pounds. Dave
Thanks! I bought the upgraded chuck and could NOT get it open. Thought I was doing something wrong. After watching you work with yours, I realize mine is stuck. So getting another spanner to loosen it.
I think they get over tightened at the factory. Dave
thank you , this video is very helpful
Glad you found it useful. Dave
I got so frustrated with my Dremel bits wobbling like crazy. I thought maybe my tool was defective. However, I forgot about the Collets I had. I took off my miltichuck and put in the collet and the wobbling is gone. Maybe my multichuck is defective, I don't know, but for a round bit, going into a round collet, it seems to be much better than having 3 tiny pressure points on a round bit. I will assume that if you have a triangle shaped bit, that a 3 point multichuck would probably be best. It's took bad I drilled like 300 holes after realizing the grip of the multichuck on round things, sucks.
Thanks for sharing your experience, It could be that your bit wasn't properly centred in the 3 jaw chuck. However if the chuck makes "all" of your bits wobbles, then perhaps there is an issue with it. I agree that for tough jobs the collet is probably a stronger grip - As long as the bits are the correct size. But the multi chuck offers flexibility. Personally I have never had an issue with any of mine and i use a multi chick daily on my Dremel micro. Thanks for watching.
@@CelticDreamsCoUk well, i hadn't used it for a week and went i went to use it, it was wobbling. I don't know if it got bumped enough to knock it off center or if it's possible my Dremel 200 is just defective. I've seen where I can take it apart and wrap extra material around 2 things inside the tool, to try to make it fit tighter, which may help. I might try that.
Good luck, but be careful. Dave
Comment advice noted. Thank you for the reply - will try removing the entire assembly, then attempt separation. Your assistance is appreciated!
You're Welcome.Dave
Heel yeah. That upgrade is awesome
Only a few pounds, but well worth it. Dave
Do you know how to open and disassembe the dremel chuck you show? Mine has a spring issue but I cannot get it open to fix it.
I've never tried to completely disassemble one. Not sure why you'd want to. They only cost a few pounds, so if its that badly damaged, just replace it. Dave
I'm happy you can attach the multi chuck to the flex shaft.
I never thought of that, but yes I guess it would. Its simply a straight replacement for the original collet chuck. Thanks. Dave
Mine doesn't without removing part of the end of the flex shaft.
this helped me a lot thank you
Glad it helped! Dave
On the Dremel multi tool chuck, how do you loosen the Chuck if it has been tightened too much? It's closed and when I attempt to open it, it unthreads from the Dremel. What am I missing?
Hmm a tricky one. You could try tightening it back onto the Dremel using the spanner, and then try to open it again. Also try a drop of oil on the jaws. You obviously need more friction between the nut and the dremel, and less between the nut and the jaws. Hope this helps. Dave
My dremel has gotten jammed with an accessory inside of it! I can't get the chuck to turn at all once I press the lock button in. I'm afraid some material may have gotten in it and mucked it up. Have you got any recommendations?
Try gently tapping the end of the accessory with a small hammer, to try and loosen everything. Also stand the Dremel accessory pointing up and try get a few drops of oil like WD40 to drip down the shaft into the chuck. use a spanner on the bottom of the nut, but if that's not strong enough then you can use engineers pliers or a plumbers wrench, but first wrap some tape around the chuck to prevent it getting scratched. Hope this helps. good luck. Dave
I'm using the Dremel Multi Chuck but I tightened the jaws too tightly (without an accessory in place) & cannot get them open. Do you have an idea how I can do this?
You can use a small spanner (or parallel jaw pliers) on the chuck, just below the knurled band. Dave
My issue is that I can’t take the collet but off. I press the button and it doesn’t let me unscrew it
Not too sure what the issue is. Can you not turn the nut (jammed), or is it just spinning round without unscrewing (locking pin has broken). Dave
Hi Dave, my multichuck is jammed on the shaft and I can't open it with spanner... Can u help me unscrew it????
Where the spanner slots on underneath the knurled section, is used to attach the chuck. So apply a spanner to that part, Unscrew the chuck in the opposite direction to normal rotation (turn the chuck the opposite way to the big arrow), whilst holding the lock button. Hope this makes sense and helps. Dave
Hello Dave. My drill bit is coming loose while I carve. What should I do? I carve bone on skulls, and have been a lot carving for about 5 months. Yesterday my bit just started slipping out while cutting. Can this be fixed?
May just be oil in the jaws. Clean your drill bits with alcohol, or white spirit. Open the Chuck and clean with inside with a little alcohol on a cotton bud (q-tip). Hopefully this helps. Dave
I got two new multi chucks today and one cannot be unscrewed even using my big vise. The other one seems to be ok, but since I have the light kit on the Dremel, the chuck won't screw down quite far enough, so have to remove the light. Also, previously had one on the Micro but the new one won't fit!
I have one on my micro, so not sure why it wouldn't fit. I'm not familiar with the light accessory. The one that is stuck try tapping the tips of the jaws downwards on the benchtop, to release any "stick". Hope this helps. Dave
I can't get the black but of the collet. I tried the spanner but it skips when I try to unscrew it ..
wrap tape around the nut and try some large pliers, or grips. Dave
Hello, I'm from basque countrie, my name is Tomás, I've a question, in which number you put the roulette to carving and to do the details?
Sorry for my "english"I only speak euskara or spanish
Thank you very much
La velocidad dependerá del material que esté tallando y del tipo de accesorio que esté utilizando. con accesorios más grandes necesitas ir más lento. material suave madera lisa puede usar velocidades más rápidas, pero demasiado rápido y quemará la madera. Así que siempre es cuestión de empezar lentamente y aumentar la velocidad lentamente para ver cómo funciona. esperanza. Dave
Thank you! Damned if I didn’t look everywhere for an answer for that little mystery.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching. Dave
do u have multi chuck for m4 to maybe around m6 bits?
I don't 'have' anything, I don't sell them. The multi chuck is as you see it here, there is only one model. It wont handle 4mm or 6mm bits. Dave
How to get a collet out that is jammed into the drill shaft?
Try tapping it lightly on the end, either on a table or with a small hammer. Dave
Very helpful thanks
You're welcome. Dave
Can you explain why my chuck loosens off when doing some jobs ? When this happened I tighten chuck as hard as I can.....it then works but is then impossible to undo
Have cleaned out the sawdust etc but. This does not help. Any ideas?
Never heard of that issue. But as you say perhaps it needs cleaning and oiling. I'd remove the chuck and give it a good wash in hot soapy water (if you have an ultrasonic, use it). 'dry it' throughly and apply a few drops of oil inside. and reattach. Hope this helps. Dave
Had to mend the chuck stop button with a blob of silver solder....works a treat now ...then realised I should be using the spanner to tighten the chuck,!
Voila as they say. It now works fine ...classic case of RTFI .
Have fun all
I can't get the chuck off that holds the collet. Any suggestions????
apply DW40, try to get it inside the chuck is you can. "tap" the jaws or collet with a small hammer on the end (gently just to loosen and rust) Use a small spanner whilst pressing the lock Button. Hope this helps. Dave
My multichuck got stuck on a flex shaft, can't get it off, any advice?
Not sure what you mean by stuck (where?). Try to lock the shaft to stop it from rotating and see if you can unscrew the chuck with a small spanner at the base of it. Hope this helps. Dave
I cant get my multichuck to screw right down to the bottom, as there is another threaded item below the multichuck which i can't remove for fear of breaking the shaft, its not my tool so never used one before, any advice, thanks
I'm not sure what the "other threaded item" is. If you want to send me a photo I'll try to help. Dave

@@CelticDreamsCoUk good afternoon dave, thank you for your reply, l got the nut off, it was the bottom of the multichuck, it was seized on having never been used for ten years, a squirt of wd 40 did the trick, it is good to know therw are people like yourself, to help novices like myself, thanks again, stay safe and healthy, charlie
Hi
Just wondering if you make Celtic jewelry?
It's a passion of mine and that's what I'd like to learn about.
Thanx!
Indeed I do!. Hence the name. Do explore my website. www.celticdreams.co.uk email if these anything you'd like to know. I will also be making some more "how to" videos soon on some of my Celtic patterns. But in the meantime, you might enjoy the video below... Dave

Feel free to email me. mail@celticdreams.co.uk The comments here should just be about the video. Dave.
Hi...my collet is jammed in the nut...how do I remove it as it is not opening and closing? Thanks!
The collet should be protruding from the end of the nut a mm or so. Unscrew & remove the nut (with collet inside) and tap the nut on a flat surface "tip down" to knock the collet out. Hope this helps. Dave
Actually it did...now that I've reinserted it is fine! Thanks!
Remember I don't work for Dremel, but happy to have helped. Dave
Hiya, I bought the dremel 3000 with a flex extension 225, when I attach it and turn it on it doesn't work on the extension end, any help appreciated, new sub x
Difficult to say without seeing it, but there should be an 'inner' shaft which will need to attach to the Dremel and which will ultimately turn the chick at the end. Check that. it is properly engaged with the Dremel. If that makes any sense. Dave.
@@CelticDreamsCoUk Thankyou Dave, will try that 🙂
THANK YOU! I was tearing my hair out. You might explain that when you put the nut back on you should only screw it on a little bit and then lock.
Thanks, I hope the video helped. Dave
The Dremel Multi Chuck is a great timesaver when using different tools of many different shaft sizes. One problem I've seen with Dremel's Multi-Chuck is wobble. I have two multi chucks, and it appears the geometry of the internal mechanism on one is off. Maybe it's just a bad unit; the older version I have works much better. I've found that drilling small holes in metal with a hand-held Dremel unit produces messy holes, esp. if one has a wobbly chuck. There is a mini drill press model that is quite reasonably priced that delivers excellent results, so one doesn't have to struggle to produced precision holes with a Dremel too.
I've not had any issues with my multi chuck. I use tiny 0.5mm needled in it for sharpening. So its perfectly straight and precise. A wobbly one probably means it wasn't screwed on properly and is perhaps cross threaded. It shouldn't wobble. Dave
The chuck is *definitely not* cross-threaded. I do know enough about proper tool setup to not make that mistake. :) The wobble isn't huge, but it's enough to cause issues when trying to do very fine work with burs or bits. I have since bought myself a good jeweler's drill press that solves this issue completely. Cheers.
My multi chuck even when tightened really well, keeps allowing a drill bit or whatever, to disappear almost right up inside. What am I doing wrong, please?
if you are using the standard chuck with the collets then you've probably got an accessory which is too small for the chuck. You likely need a smaller collet. Dave
In case this helps--I checked my Dremel w/ multi-chuck. The chuck will firmly grip a 30 ga (0.25mm) wire, so if the jaws on yours aren't closing tightly...I would inspect it for debris preventing it closing properly. Sometimes these mult-chucks get jammed with dirt, and need to be cleaned periodically.
I checked the first picture in the manual of the saw attachment 670, and put it on. However, what wasn't clear on the picture was that it needed a separate drive adapter. Now I can't unscrew my saw attachment because I can't reach the piece you discussed, as the transparent saw attachment is around it.... Bummer. Why don't they indicate that better!?
So, my question is: how to loosen the nut around the collet without touching it?
I "think" I understand the problem. If you can unscrew the black plastic part of the saw, then you should be able to "pull" the saw out of the dremel chuck (perhaps lever it out with a screwdriver). Hope this makes sense. Dave
Hiya, my problem was the chuck was jammed. I've three Dremel 4488 chucks that I can't use. Cooksongold were great and sent replacements till one worked i.e. the fourth.
IF you had three brand new chucks all jammed they where probably just over-tightened at the factory. It should just be a simple matter to attach them firmly and then unscrew them. Mine has been fine from the start. Dave
I am using the chuck on the flex shaft. However it keeps loosening as I use it so the bits won't stay in. What am I doing wrong?
Unscrew it a try a drop of "threadlock" on top the threads before re screwing it back on. careful not o glue up the whole thing though. just a tiny drop !. Hope this helps. Dave
@@CelticDreamsCoUk thank you kindly for your advise. Much appreciated!
What do you do when the chuck is rusted into place?
WD-40. Dave
does this multi chuck works on drills?
Yes that's the idea. As small drills come in different shank sizes, so this chuck is perfect for that. Dave
Thank youuuu!
Welcome. Dave
My nut will not come off. Nor will the little skinny dremel bit or collet. When I press the unlock button - it yet never opens up the hole it never widens it so I can’t get the piece that’s in it out
Try tapping the end (of the bit) on the desk to loosen the collet, which may have been overtightened and jammed in to the nut. Hope this makes sense. Dave
Any fixes for if the nut is stuck?
You can use the small spanner supplied just underneath the nut (between the nut and the Dremel). press the lock button and use the spanner to unlock the nut. Hope this helps. Dave
My collet NUT is frozen. Any suggestions for breaking it free?
see if you can get any penetrating oil inside the nut, try a few drops of WD40 onto the end of the jaws and leave it standing up for a few minutes, then if you can, try to get between the nut and the Dremel with a few drops and leave it standing down. Ensure the spindle lock button is firmly pressed and use a spanner or pliers (with tape) to try and unscrew the nut. Mechanics often put a hot flame onto a nut to loosen it, obviously you don't want to do that here, but standing the nut (only) in some boiling water for a minute may help and also loosen any dirt that may be the problem. Hope this helps. Dave
Thank you. I'll try your suggestions. Keep you posted.
CD - Thanks for a helpful video. I have the same problem with a frozen collet nut, but mine is rusted (got it a few years ago and this is my first attempt at using it).. I have tried WD40, penetrating oil, heating the nut with a lighter while running the Dremel (for hopefully even heating), and soaking in penetrating oil after heating. So far no luck. Any other ideas?
Do please comment individually, as oppose to on other peoples (it avoids them being spammed with someone else's feedback). But as above. if you can remove the nut and collet (stuck together). hold the nut (only) with pliers and tap end down onto a wooden surface. this will hopefully knock the stuck collet out. Dave
I press my lock button and when I try to open it the button pops up. Think I've over tightened it. How can I get it open? Please help!!
Obviousley th ebutt is what locks the spindle. So you need to keep the button pressed. Alternatively if you've got a tool in the chuck then try holding that with pliers whilst unscrewing the chuck with the spanner. Also lightly tap the tool (or the end of the jaws) with a light hammer to try and free any tension. hope this helps. Dave.
@@CelticDreamsCoUk I do have a tool stuck in the chuck right now. I'll try the holding it with pliers technique. Thanks
Thank you so much !!!
You're welcome.Dave
nice one thanks
You're welcome. Hope it helps. Dave
How do you when the multi chuck is jammed
Try tapping it on the very end to free the jaws. Dave
Three is a space for a spanner. Two flat spots under the finger tightener
Correct. you can use a small spanner on either the nut or the chuck. Personally, I've never needed too. Dave
Celtic Dreams. Sorry about the spelling. I have had a chuck loose it's bit and go flying. (Only missed my head by about an inch) then a friend pointed out the flats near the bottom for a wrench.
In defence of the tool I was working it to hard.
Love the videos keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks for watching. Dave
I got a multi chuck and want fit the tool.
I’m not sure what you are asking. The video shows how to use the multi chuck. Please check your English and try asking again. Dave
I wish I had known about them before 😠 that'll teach me not to look hard at accessories
thanks😆
Thanks for watching. I hope you found it informative. Dave.
Celtic Dreams thanks 😆
Mine won’t even sping off. I try to unscrew it with the wrench and it’ll just overlap the spin and never come loose
I don't quite understand the question. If you can re-phrase it more clearly, I will try to answer. Dave
@@CelticDreamsCoUk sorry I was working on it while I wrote that lol. It appears the stopper button doesn’t hold it in place for me to unscrew it to release the tool. I had to take it apart to do it but now my dreamt won’t work correctly. I’m just going to buy a new one
I'm not sure what would cause that. Perhaps a broken lock pin? Difficult to say. Dave
The second black thing you showed, the one you have inte the thumbnail, i vant thihten it, the jaws just twisting inside the thing when i try to thight it
Not sure what you are asking. If you can try to explain more clearly, I wil try my best to help. Dave
My nut wont unscrew at all. I’ve made sure my Dremel is off and I’m pressing the button, but it won’t budge. :(
Try the little spanner, whilst pressing the lock button. Hope this helps. Dave
Can’t get my multi Chuck to open
Not sure without seeing it, but try tapping the end on the bench to loosen it. Dave
Blessed be, do you think this chuck will work on dremel 200 ?
Are you Wiccan by the way ? I am eclectic Wiccan.
It should work fine with the 200. Pretty much any Dremel with a collet chuck. I wondered why you asked if I was a Wiccan. I'm not but I presume you saw the pentagram on my bench pin. I wondered if anyone would comment on that. I was actually making a small silver charm with a lucky star on it and wanted to get the geometry right, so drew it out neatly on my bench peg. Hence why there is a pentagram. No meaning, just a star shape. I do however sometimes place a square and compass deliberately on my bench (in some videos). The meaning of which I will leave you to ponder. Thanks for watching. Dave ; )
@@CelticDreamsCoUk so you are freemason 👍
By the level and on the square ; )
@@CelticDreamsCoUk Freemasonry is outlawed in my country if it was available I would join a lodge, in fact nearly everything is outlawed in my country except Islam and christianity 😒
Nice pentagrame buddy?
A few people have mentioned that. Nothing sinister, it was simply a little star I cut out for a 50th birthday pendant. So I just drew it out on my bench peg to get the dimensions. see link Dave
