A .25-inch cutter may not fit through some openings. If this
occurs, use the .125-inch cutter if possible.
You may discover that characters can be cut smaller than the
recommended limits. If a .25-inch cutter is used, double the
size limit for the smallest characters in each style. If larger bits
are purchased, scale the limitations proportionally for larger
cutters.

COLLETS
The tool kit contains two collets. One is a 1/2" collet intended for
use with the pen tool. The other is a 1/4" collet intended for use
with all 1/4" cutters.
A 1/4" cutter must have a diameter of .249-.250, and a 1/2"
cutter must have a diameter of .499-.500 inches.
If the cutter has a 1/8" shank, insert it into the 1/8" adapter
provided and use the 1/4" collet.
The cleanliness of the collet and the spindle is essential.
Damaged surfaces will affect the holding ability of the collet.
Be sure that the tapered inside diameter of the spindle, the
tapered outside diameter of the collet, and the inside diameter
of the collet are free of chips and debris.
The outside diameter of the cutting tool is an important factor
in the collet's ability to hold tools tightly in place. Use only
cutting tools that have a -0.001 inch (or less) tolerance on the
nominal outside diameter. Gerber authorized cutters comply
with these tolerances.
Insert the collet into the nut before you insert the tool. Insert
the tool bit, then install the nut on the bottom of the spindle.
This will make it easier to remove the adapter.
