When collets are shown, they only give the motor shaft diameter, both here and everywhere else I have looked. How do you find out the pro shaft diameter for each one?

Thanks for any help

Can you point us to what you're looking at. I'm looking at the first few under "SPINNER/ADAPTER" under "Hardware & Accessories" HERE and of those they are all showing both measurements. EG: THE FIRST ONE.
The specs from the page " Spec:
Motor Shaft: 3mm
Prop Shaft: 6mm
Prop Shaft length: 24mm
Weight: 13.2 grams "




I'm never wrong, once I thought I was but I was mistaken.

OK. Here is one. So some are given the outer diam, others not.

There is mention in the discussions, as was suggested. But it seems weird that so often that prop diam is left out

I see what you mean, that's pretty slack of them. I've noticed that sort of thing on other products too, inconsistant information. With the electric props thankfully a lot come with a range of adaptor rings and I save all the ones I don't use in case I need them later, they're also handy as spacers or washers. I realy don't understand why they don't spend 2 seconds measuring things like those adaptors though.

Well it's not uncommon. I actually asked another vendor about it and they said that was all the manufacturer would tell them shrug... as you say, two seconds to measure one would help sales.
