I just received a clam plate and after putting it together with the clam extension, there is almost no wobble when spinning it in the air. No auger yet to try in the ice.I paired it with Ryobi drill. Is there any issue with putting the trigger actuator assembly in the same channel as the drill handle holder? It seems to activate the trigger perfectly that way. Otherwise I think the piece that contacts the trigger would be too long.
It just cuts.once in awhile if you start to slow it will walk.i just start another hole when it does.its best just to put drill to ice and pull the trigger fully auger grabs and shreds ice doing this.starting out slow does not work with my 8” mora.its the moras shaver blades that make it walk.that been my method so far.its walked maybe 5 times out of 75.i let other guys cut holes with it to.no problems.
Does anybody have a recommendation for a different auger extension besides the Clam one? I just ordered the Clam but after reading the thread I think that might have been a mistake...
Clam here no problems
Looks like about 10% unsatisfied, can’t please everyone !!
The vocal minority do not represent the quiet majority.
Just got my plate and extension in the mail. Got it all put together and there was lot of play in the plate where the bearing is connected. Is this normal? My extension has a bend in it and was causing a wobble when I was using the drill so that is getting returned.
I should clarify too that when the shaft is in the clam plate, it is not a snug fit. There is some play between the shaft and the bearing, I think that is what is causing my wobble issue. When I have everything else connected, it seems like the play in the plate gets much worse. When everything is connected, I can move the plate up and down about 1/4"-1/2" with the auger staying perfectly straight
Here's my sol'n to the walking prob I used the kind of screw used for furniture legs---machhine thread on one end to go in tapped hole, wood type thread on the other end to go into ice. Can make overlapping holes with this too.
