Fortunately, this isn't a problem since the shaft size on the chip has a 0.313 diameter bore, which is the fractional 5/16". This isn't a super-standard size (1/8 inch increments are easier to find) but they you'll be able to compare a number of solutions at http://www.globalspec.com.

I hope this helps,
