From memory the Dremel I had used a aluminium ('white') collet that was
so badly designed that it didn't sit neatly in its holder. The thing
could move about when the clamp was not screwed on. A proper collet is
constructed from grounded hardened steel ('black') so the collet fitts
neatly in the collet holder by a chamfer. See some pictures at
http://www.indiamart.com/pgengineers/#productsI got my money back and instead bought a Bosch straight die grinder for
about 2.5 times the price.
