You had something that cost $250 that you were happy with and then you sold it to get $200 and then later bought another of the exact same thing? Whenever I am going to do something I think, would an idiot do that? And if they would, I do not do that thing. D. Schrute
The 6" kdrill will not cut at all without some minimal down pressure so i returned it. I got only like 15 holes in 24" ice and it drained the battery due to poor slow cutting. I can double the holes cut easy with my

I have a 8" on a clam plate with a Milwaukee and it's amazing. It takes a little bit of downward pressure while it's spinning on the center blade before the chipper blades start to bite. Once they dig in, it just rips straight though. I had a 6" nils on the Milwaukee last year and I can't say the it was noticeably faster than my K-drill. If yours isn't cutting right, I'd contact vexilar right away. I'm sure they'll make it right.
If you think that little bit of down pressure is a issue on a setup that only weighs 10 Lbs. You should lug around my old jiffy mod. 30 at 36 Lbs. And see which one you are happier with.
It took me maybe 2 holes to figure out it takes slight down pressure when I first used the 8" k drill. It is still the easiest power auger setup that I have ever used. I have never used a ice auger that didn't take some slight down pressure. Is that really a issue for you?
