I bought something similar to this...

and a Dremel Chuck #4486

http://www.dremel.com/en-us/tools/pages ... Pccxi7lw4Q

I unscrewed the Collets chuck from the Power tool and screwed-in the Dremel Drill Chuck and Voila!!!

cheap and easy.... and lucky me... it happens to Fit ! maybe you can Ask in store to test first...?

hope it fires up your brain and give some some ideas on how to proceed ?

I am considering buying on of these myself. they come with different size collets to accommodate smaller size drills. I have the pen sander and that's absolutely marvelous. You can get different sanding heads and shape them to your needs...but i digress
Quality stuff

Yep , bought one and it is everything that "HollywoodModelling' say's. Three things i would like to add. It is very quiet, practically vibration free and has no run out. Unlike the dremel wannabe's.
Using it does feel like a oversize Marker pen, but easy to get used to.

Lateral thinking....could always buy drill bits and other bits and pieces that all have the same size stem ie 3.2mm these can obtain quiet cheaply.
Correct me if I am wrong doesn't dremel use a 3.2mm stem on their accessories
