Proxxon IBS/E Teardown & Repair (Broken Collet Stuck in Spindle)

I used a cheap collet, it broke, it got stuck and I have to get it out … ↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓ I wanted to use the cutting disks from one of those cheap sets for Dremel/Proxxon. You know them: 150 parts for 1.99. But I had the wrong collet in my IBS/E. However, the toolset also contained collets and I was too lazy to get my Proxxon ones. I decided to take the IBS/E apart and to press the broken collet out from the back of the spindle. Only after I had all the parts on the bench I noticed that the spindle was not hollow all the way through. But I got lucky drilling out the collet. 00:00 Intro – a “broken” IBS/E and a warning about collets from cheap Proxxon/Dremel tool sets 01:14 Disassembly – four easy screws, two harder screws and then a hell of a press fit 10:47 Repair – drilling the broken collet out, got lucky finding a 4.8mm drill in my shop 13:58 Reassembly – some trouble with the press fit and then it’s easy going with the screws Teardowns    • Teardowns   Repairs    • Repairs   Small Project: AC Mains Isolation Transformer from Two Broken UPSs (2/2)    • Small Project: AC Mains Isolation Transfor...   Mailbag: Proxxon IBS/E – Unboxing, Runout Measurement and Test    • Mailbag (Single Item): Proxxon IBS/E – Unb...   #robertssmorgasbord #teardown #disassembly #disassembling #repair #repairing #fixing #proxxon
