Help! Looking for a prop adapter

[Rich B]

Does anyone know if there is a 8mm (motor shaft) collet prop adapter that will accommodate wood/APC props without drilling. I would like to also run a spinner on this. I do not know what size of threaded shaft to look for. I attempted to enlarge an APC prop to the almost 1/2" diameter collet adapter I have but failed :facepalm:. Thanks in advance

Not that I'm aware of. Have you tried using a prop reamer instead of drilling?

I used a prop reamer to the largest size it had. I had to finish it with a drill bit.

What size is the threaded shaft that are on the electric motors you guys are using?

My latest has a 10mm motor shaft.

Fox makes a reamer that goes to 12mm.

Looks like tower caries a 8mm motor shaft to 3/8" prop collet:

Thanks. Looks like that reamer from Fox is the way to go.
