I second the Prop Reamer! Do NOT use a drill or drill press. I screwed up a few props by using a drill when I first started in this Hobby... sure it looked good and I thought I had it right, until I noticed I took a lot off the prop to balance it. [:@]

Here is a test for all you people who think a drill press or hand drill is the way to go: buy a brand new prop and get it balanced right out of the bag, then drill your hole with the drill and re-balance... what happens? Yep you guessed it, your prop is out of balance... meaning your drilling wasn't 100% right on.

When I read using a drill press or hand drill I nearly choked on my coffee![sm=48_48.gif]
