I have a quadra 35 and need to find a prop reemer of 5/16. Does anyone know where I can get one? I tried doing it with a drill and drill press.... cost me two props. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I use a wood reamer that I purchased from a local wood working store.

However, I have heard that if you want to use a drill press, you should first get a drill the same size as the hole in the prop. Put the drill in the drill press. DO NOT start the drill press, but lower the drill through the center hole in the prop and clamp the prop in place. Then put in the right size drill and drill the hole. This will make sure the prop hole is centered the same as the original hole.

Hope this helps.

Here is one: [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEGH7&P=ML]Great Planes Prop Reamer[/link]

and here is another: [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXG940&P=ML]Fox 4-Step Prop Reamer[/link]

Just go to [link=http://www.towerhobbies.com/]Tower Hobbies[/link] and do a search for "prop reamer". While doing a search, it would help if "reamer" is spelled correctly
