Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
I have noticed that if I lift lightly right at the point of breaking through it doesn't do it. Anyone else have any thoughts about the flighting idea one guy mentioned?
How many people ease off the throttle when they think they're close to breaking thru?
most of the time the last few inches is the hardes ice [ black ice ]
I've always heard that it is not safe to walk on black ice so wouldn't white ice be stronger?
I believe you have that backwards, clear or black ice is the best, white ice weaker.This was my first year with a power auger, it's a Nils and haven't experienced any problems whats so ever.
Its the blade style like I said before. Moras do not do it at all. Attach a mora bit to your power auger and it will zip right through. Mora (flat blade) augers cut with the whole blade at once, which is why they are harder to turn than a lazer. Lazers (curved blade) cut from the middle out on each turn. Nils do not hang up either because they are a flat blade design. Any power auger with curved shaver blades or single chipper blade will bind at the end. Some have enough power that you do not feel it, but they all will bind. Augers with flat blades will not.
