I would never use a long tapered prop reamer or any other for that matter. I use a drill press and the proper sized drill steel to match the engine's shaft size. I have the proper tool, so I use it... I have heard that drill presses can be used for other things too!
Maybe you could use a jack hammer to drive some finishing nails?

This site is starting to ps me off. I type a post for 5 mins and add a photo and it gets timed out!!!! I'll try again.
Mustangman,
You need a reamer that has a very narrow taper. Just any reamer won't work. You will take off to much material. I got mine from my LHS. Here is their info and a pic of the one I have. It's made by ''ENKAY''. Flightline Hobbies, Lake Orion, Michigan Toll free....877-891-8359. John would be glad to ship you one.
on_your_six.......LMBO......this thread went from how to check prop tracking to how to make a hole bigger and not even needing to be centered.....[:-][:-]
i gave up several posts ago as you just cannot argue with "backyard" mechanics...........i beat them in competitions all the time though so they are required to be part of this hobby........
funny thing is, no one has posted the proper way to true up a prop................should we give in and explain it?.......nah.......the ol rasp file users will jump in and claim they know.
