Default RE: Reamer vs. drill bit

ORIGINAL: Jackster00

A drill press is of course, the best way to do drilling/reaming work.
Also, a drill press and vise are necessary for holding the prop square,
thus eliminating the possibility of non-perpendicularity of the hole
being enlarged.

I agree with Jack....I always use the drill press. I want them straight,
and the hole enlarged to the perfect diameter. The drill press also
straightens out some "less than perfect" factory attempts to "knock"
a hole through the center of the prop.

I don't clamp them...I hold them by hand with a glove so they can
self center.
