Prop drilling

In order to mount a spinner on a Moki 1.80 or 2.10, the prop must be drilled out to fit the spinner adaptor which has a larger diameter than the prop shaft.
I have the reamers from B&B but the hole still comes out too small and it's a real bit-h to clamp a prop to my drill press table.
Wait a mineut, just had a brain fart, figured out how to clamp a prop to the table without c-clamps. Any other ideas on this subject would help, thanks.

I dont' have a drill press so I do it with a hand held drill. However, I don't just do it in one step, I go up one drill bit size at a time, presumably this will keep my hole centered since the drill bits tapered point is somewhat self-centering. So far, it has worked great. I'm just glad I don't have any of those gas engines that have 8 or 10 bolts to hold the prop. Those guys probably spend more time building and mounting their prop than I do some of my planes
