Will collets, and attachments (bits) from older models work with this unit?

Yes, the collets will work fine as long as they are also Dremel collets. Different makes will use slightly different size collets in relationship to the housing of the collet. If they are dremel collets they will work fine on other dremels.

Karl, you will need the Dremel 4486 Quick Change Collet. The 4486 collet is used with the Dremel 4000. The 4486 accepts all accessory bits with 1/32" to 1/8" shanks. Good luck. Jim D.

Check the item description. It had a list of all the available models it will work for.

From what I have read, these attachments will work on any model. The fittings are advertised as being universal.

To the best of my Knowledge it will work with similarly wired & set up Motor-guide units and some Mini-Kota"s: Actully I have an extra brand new one I would be happy to sell Never used tried to return it but apparently was too late.

Short answer is yes - When I bought my router it had both a 1/4" and 1/2" collet. I lost the 1/4" collet and needed to replace it - so that I could use bits with a 1/4" shank.

haven't tried them but I have used accessories from an old ryobi. it SHOULD work. the most you may need to do is switch out the collet

All standard 1/4" bits will fit. However the one I got only worked about 6 months before it quit working.

The sources I checked for you does not show that this will work with your model machine.

Hi Ben... Absolutely... Just make sure that you have the correct collet that fits the shank of the bit(s). If you don't have the correct collet you can get one at Amazon or you local Home Depot. You also need to need to make sure that the guide bushings that come with the bit set will fit the base of your router. I have the same set and use it with my Porter-Cable or equivalent base. Again... You can get one at Home Depot or on Amazon to fit your set. M. Watson, JANVS WOODWORKS

do not know- it worked on old craftsman model 20 years old that I plug into back of main unit

no, you need the ones that go with this unit. the old ones with the stem attached don't work with the new machines.

Thanks, your answers are all appreciated. Now I must decide whether or it's worthwhile to buy this and have to buy all new drill bits or go with a conventional model that accepts all the bits I already own.

A second answer is that there are several other models from other makes now that will work, maybe even better. I was frustrated waiting for the original to make one and bought several others. Hope that is a better answer for you.

Pretty sure it works with all models so I would say yes. It is a pretty slick tool easy to use!!! Good luck. :)

Yes. I bought a set of assorted grinding and sanding bits and a set of collets that were all Dremel brand and everything fit fine.

I have a different model machine, but you could always check with the seller. I recently purchased the circular attachment for my machine since they have a good return policy as long as packaging was not destroyed. It works beautifully even though my model was not listed as compatible.
