    Stripping motor coupler

    Any one having issues with these??? So far my second coupler one of the set screws stripped out .... Not the screw the actual coupler... This is the second one... Anyone else have this issue??? It's getting impossible to maintain the flex shaft greasing it after every run when the coupler is so weak and soft... I need a real upgrade on this part !!

    To regrease the flex shaft after every run is a bit excessive i regrease mine after about 4 or 5 runs and as long as you do this regularly things should be fine.

      Thanks for the response... Even if I do it every 5 runs it still runs the risk of stripping the part while tightening the set screws... Its tough to tighten the screws so the flex shaft doesn't move without stripping the coupler...
