    Hi Folks! I have a problem with the flex-shaft polishing pin kit from
    Rio (p.393 in 2004 catalogue) and was wondering if maybe I have a
    defective one. I find that the collet doesn't close tightly on the
    pin (2mm) no matter how tightly I close it. You can see the slits of
    the 3 teeth aren't touching. It feels secure when I close it, but it
    usually spins right out of the collet as soon as you touch it to the
    work. I wanted to cut the slits down lower to put in more
    flexibility so the screw part of the collet would screw further down
    and fully close it, but obviously a saw can't get in there because
    there are only 3 slits. If other folks are using this potentially
    useful tool without this problem, perhaps I just got a lemon.....?
