Overview
MODEL: MP21-24-MSD
This is the smallest of the mini shaft series, with its 1/8” shank. It was designed by Manpa and tested by South Korean chainsaw, bonsai and ice carvers. It has a single miniature 5mm cutting head and is rated to operate from 20,000 rpm to a maximum 30,000 rpm. It is 1-11/16” long, 3/16” diameter, has a carving depth of 13/16” and fits 1/8” collets.
- It is recommended for sole use on Dremel™, Micromot™ or similar small rotary tools with variable speed control and 1/8” collet. It's important to use the correct sized 1/8” collet for this accessory.
DO NOT FIT this mini shaft on any of the following: It may fit but it ain’t safe!
- Flexible shafts, drill chucks or multi chucks.
- Angle grinders fitted with the Manpa Mini Collet ER or any type of collet extension. Angle grinders don’t have even the recommended minimum rpm speeds.
This mini shaft with its powerful, tungsten carbide micro cutter makes rapid, small straight cuts to a single, maximum 13/16” carving depth and is best used in a push/pull motion as it bores through the wood. You drill deeper into the wood with each thrust. Each one can also be used for 1) rapid texturing across the wood surface 2) as a drill which can then quickly carve and greatly enlarge the initial hole or 3) to make small hole designs in carving and woodturning. The design use in small applications is vast – we’re just scratching the surface.
Interesting applications in wood are bonsai maintenance, facial and hair carving, infinite small carving designs, woodturning texturing and hollowing, sign making (letters and numbers). The carving applications we mentioned is just a start. You will find more uses the more you use them.
