Prop reconditioning.....Does anyone do it?

I had mine done last summer. One of them was significantly out of spec. Never hit anything with them but they did have little nicks here and there. My spare set which I had put on while these were being reconditioned, had an invisible to me crack or weakness in one of the blades. While coming in from the ocean, one of the blades sheared off. Fortunately, the blade went either out to the side or straight down so it didn't make any contact with the hull. That could have caused serious damage. For this reason, I will have my props inspected and reconditioned regularly from this point on.
