How to Replace the Turbine Cartridge in the NSK Presto High Speed Handpiece

The NSK Presto High Speed Engraving Tool comes with a 90 day limited warranty on the handpiece and the turbine cartridge. With proper use, it will last much longer that that and provide years of vibration free, (and very quiet), operation.

However, due to the nature of bearings and the high speed that the NSK Presto operates at, the time may come when you will need to replace the turbine cartridge in your NSK Presto.

Don’t worry, the process is simple – but there are a few key points that you need to be aware of.

The Video below will show you the process of changing the turbine cartridge.

How to Replace the Collet in your NSK Presto – High Speed Engraving Handpiece

The Chuck or Collet is the part of your turbine that “holds” onto the bits – keeping them snug in your handpiece while you carve or engrave. .The collet is a wearable part of all high speed handpieces that simply wears out with use.

If the burs keep coming out of your high speed handpiece while you are engraving, it is most likely time to replace your chuck (collet). But wait, just because your collet holds the burs, this does not mean that it is in good shape. A worn collet will cause a bit to “wobble” – which will put unnecessary strain on your bearings, causing your turbine to wear out prematurely.

Regular collet replacement is a good idea to keep your handpiece in top running order.

The process of changing the collet varies by handpiece model, but the NSK Presto can be the trickiest of them all.

The video below will walk you through the process of replacing your Collet in your NSK Presto Handpiece.
