Hi All,

    Does any one out there know how to obtain smaller collets (1/16" and
    3/32") that would fit the micro pencil air grinder sold at Harbor
    Freight 

    http://tinyurl.com/34vdq7 

    It comes with an 1/8" which is fine for quite a bit of larger work,
    but the smaller collets would make common jewelry burs useable. Their
    parts/service dept. doesn't have a clue how to obtain anything other
    than what comes with the tool. 

    By the way, these seem to be great value grinders as long as you
    keep them oiled. I see they're listed right now for $10.00!!!! and
    have only burned the bearings up on one of the first I used because I
    wasn't too "religous" about oiling. I now keep 6 different ones on an
    air manifold with 6 different tools and controled by a foot operated
    air speed valve. 

Frank
