Does a Grizzly Shaper/Router collet fit a Delta 1/2" shaper?

Anyone try this? G1705
I asked Grizzly, and they say they don't know.
I don't either, but I suppose they could have copied enough of the LDS
shaper to have used the same spindle mounting design, but unless it is a
collet precisely for a knockoff of the Delta LD shaper I wouldn't expect
it.
The spindle mounting end is simple enough to machine w/ a metal lathe,
but the balance of attaching a collet isn't totally trivial. If you
pull the spindle you'll see what I'm talking about--if the Grizzly
people will give you a drawing of theirs, you could judge whether it
would work.
Personally, I'd recommend the Delta if you really want it. I've seen
them on ebay on occasion.
