maybe that could be the problem with mine, i recieved it free from a man i dont really know and it cuts 6in of ice in about 5min. i'll have to check that.
You may just need new blades. Towards spring I watch for sales and buy blades for 1/2 price. Although at Dicks I bought new 8" blades for my power Lazer for $13.00 AND THAT WAS IN Jan.
Yup! That's why I drill holes in 4" of ice with a power auger.
I bought a brand new laser, and after drilling about 15 holes, the handle was definitely bent, and it really slowed the hole drilling considerably. I had to bite the bullet, and shorten my auger to the shortest setting, and get on my knees to finish the hole...
i have just recently (a couple of weeks ago) bought a new 8" Mora auger from gander. And a couple of days later with my buddies out on the ice. they were complaining that it would not cut right. What it would do was cut a little bit then skim the ice and cut again the skim it. so i looked at he blades and here one the blades had about an inch and half snapped off. No idea how that happened. then i paid just as much for the blades as i did the auger.
