Default RE: Prop wont fit

It makes me wonder if they are made in two different specifications, one for SAE and one for metric.
Yes, there are both SAE and metric prop reamers. I have and use both. But I have found a better solution. Drill bits designed specifically for drilling out props. They have a 1/4 inch pilot ground on the end of the bit to guide it. The drills come in a number of sizes - both SAE and metric. I mainly use the the 5/16 in. size. Plus I always use a drill press. The holes come out perfectly. You can find them here:
