How Yamaha Makes Propellers... Interesting and lots of work.

And to think the list price of my Reliance prop is only $745.

I've seen Boyd Duckett work a prop in the parking lot of a Super 8 Motel.

I always thought props were over priced.....I think we get a pretty good deal on them now.

That was an interesting video. Never would have thought people would have been beating on them with mallets just before going in the box.

Makes the price seem kinda cheap for all that goes into it.........lot of labor and expensive machinery.........

Agree. I had no idea all the steps they go through.
It's now easier to understand why they can the same, yet so different.

[BroWhoop]

Wow! I'd never really thought about it, that's a lot of work.

As always, when in doubt,,,,, Get a BFH and wack it

[astasoftride]

This does cause one to stop and ask, why not more automation? I mean there are machines/multi-axis lathes that can cut them perfectly.

[Whitaker201]

It will probably get to that point but I'm sure when.

[cwilt]

Wow! Thanks for sharing

I wonder if they ever X-ray a prop to look for stress cracks, air pockets , inprofections in the material.
