I was given a "Professional Woodworker" carving tool that looks like a
Dremel. This tool is missing the nut and collet. The shaft is larger
than a Dremel and the threads do not seem to match anything I can
find.
The tool seems to be HDC (Homier) but they say no parts are available.
Anyone know a source of this nut and collet?
Thanks!

I'm sure the "nut" can be made. On the other hand the collet is a
different matter entirely. :-)
Take some (lots) of measurements and go look at the different
brands and compare. (use a micrometer, not a "ruler". :-) )
...lew...

Is it like this ?

Perhaps there are some like parts. A number of companies sell parts
for these. Locally and web based.
