Default RE: Help Please.... I've been beat up by props....

Try this, You need a drill vise. You can get them at Grizzly.com or Sears. Put the prop you want to drill in the vise. There are slots in the press table specificly to bolt down these vices. Put the bolts in but do not tighten the vise down. Carefully tighten the prop in slightly. Use a drill bit he same size as the hole in the prop as you get them. Chuck it in the press. Now comes the fun part. Without turning the press on run the bit down into the prop. You may need to giggle the prop and or slide the vise some. When the drill bit is centered and throught the prop lock down the prop and vise. The prop should be centered and ready. Just put in the drill bit and drill the prop. After drilling it then balance and you are done.
