Default props & batteries

Hi all;
A couple of questions:
1) What's the best way to open up a hole in a prop, (not wood)? My Saito 82 has a shaft that's larger than the standard holes in the Master Airscrews I'm using. I've tried the proper bit in my drill press and I still get "grabbing" and a somewhat less than perfect hole.

2) How should I recharge my RX & TX batteries between flight days? I have an Accu-Cycle to cycle/charge, but should I cycle after each flying day? I'm pretty sure I shouldn't "top-off" the bats between days, but should I take them down completely? Most flying days I only fly a few flights and don't fly for maybe a week or so. It seems that there's still a lot of capacity left.

Thanks!
