...notorious for having the hole drilled crooked through them.
Should I not use APC on my airplanes then? The only reason I'm checking prop tracking is to get a smoother running plane without all the massive vibrations that I've been experiencing. I have no doubt that my drive washers and crankshafts are straight; these engines have not been crashed and the Saito has only been run twice on the bench; otherwise factory new. Should I switch to a different propeller and try again?

Thanks for the replies
Mike

are you serious?..................it's not the hole even though that is the obvious suspect.
you need to make sure the back of the prop hub is true first. any prop can be off, and you need to learn how to check that first........but still, using a prop to check for tracking is pointless whether it's reamed out correctly or not.............when you tighten a prop down it has no choice but to sit flat on the drive washer does it not?...........
