Does anyone know it? I know that it is slightly larger than 0.05mm.

I bought a .08mm at lowes and it worked.  It was a hair loose though.  Probably is a .10mm

0.08mm?  really?  That's about the thickness of a sheet of 20lb paper...

Now, assuming you meant inches, 0.050" is about 1.27mm, and the next common size up from that is 1.5mm, and the next size up is 1/16" (about 1.59mm).  Interestingly, neither my .050" nor my 1.5mm Allen wrenches fit in the grub screw of one of my pinion gears...

No I did indeed mean MM.  I misplaced the decimal.  I meant 0.8,  precisely the wrench I used was 0.89.  I just checked and the 1.0mm fits like a glove...HOWEVER, get some lok tite when you do it.  Coat both the shaft and the screw hole, and leave it alone to set up.  You will never be able to securely tighten that grub screw tight enough with that teeny assed wrench, and without the lok-tite, you will end up fishing the grub screw out of your gear box.
