Do you mean to mount discs to arbors or arbors to the Dremel?

Discs to arbors. Ya need a hand to hold the arbor, a hand
to hold the disc, a hand to hold the screw and driver.

An elastomer-coated gadget to hold the arbor and disc in
alignment with a screwdriver constrained to the center of
the arbor would be really neat for the non-Shivas among us.

Extra points for magnetizing the screwdriver to hold the fastener.

Or something else entirely? (Yeah, I'm onto you.

Yup. You are Larry, all right. 00

Grab the disk between thumb and middle finger, hold screw head in place
lightly with index finger, spin on the arbor with the other hand. Sheesh!

If you're good in 3-D, assemble the screw and washer to the disc and
power up the die grinder slowly. Now move the screw into mesh with the
end of the arbor and HIT IT! It self-tightens.

If you're not good, visually, it will crossthread the arbor and screw
like a bitch on steroids and you'll have to replace both.
