Default Rotary burr walking out of collet

I bought some 6mm burrs on a 3mm shank.

I also have a Silverline rotary tool:

I find the burr walks out and I can't seem to tighten up the collets
sufficiently to make it stay in place for a decent length of time.

Is there an alternative system that doesn't have this problem?

Perhaps thread/bearing lock compound?


Try a new collet, they don't last forever. You can also get mini jacobs chucks for 3.2mm machines.
