150 octura collet question

[britscoot]

what size is the grub screw that holds it to the shaft?

I have a lot of allen keys but this grub screw is a weird size.
i've tried metric and standard and still not fitting tight.

Thanks

Should be 1/16 if I remember right.

I had to go to the hardware store and buy that really small hex key-- that size was not included in my hex wrench set...

I found mine at Ace. I bet Orchard Supply would also have them.

I just recently obtained a really small coupler for a 1/8" output shaft and the 1/16 hex wrench was too big-- turns out the next smaller size is 0.050" and I had to get this at a hobby store (hardware stores seem to stop at 1/16").
